Know anything about them?

Only that they exist. They don’t look worth $90 to me

Third pair of my third favorite military boots all time.

No I haven't. I also backed out on the Kawana. I know looks shouldn't be that big of a deal, but the gray was to boring and the other was just gay.

Imma wait a few more days or so and see how I feel.

Do they have zipper sides?

Poor AF needing everything made easy for them.

No they don’t Mal!!!

For real though, these are harder to get on and that’s reason they aren’t first or second all time

I think I remember you telling me you aren't allowed ones with zippers, correct?

Yea, that’s an AF only thing (having zippers), hence why I’m making fun of ol Mal. He knows I’m just having fun. Well, he will when he reads it.

Thanks for the info. Guess I'll stick with the 511s or may get another pair of Reebocs.

These aren’t the Bellevilles that are number two all time for me, but I do like the look of them.

Metal zippers are anti-tactical due to the noise they emit and the shine they produce when the paint wears off. However, high quality non-metalic zippers nip those two no-nos in the bud.

Would suck if the zipper malfunctiond in da bush.

 

[Behr]

I still have my Reeboks. I love them.

It would. I'm hard on boots. HARD! Never had a non-metalic zipper fail. Knock wood.

 

[volfanbill]

So Behr thinks about bush and Mal thinks about wood. That’s what we’ve learned here right?

I was gonna say Jungle, but decided to see who said what about Bush.

Those look good. I like the fact they come with the composite toe like my Reebocs. I'll have to do price and review comparisons and decide on my next pair.

DUDE! I LOVED my jungle boots! Got my first pair in '85.

I do prefer bush.

I need shoes with firm tops over toes and quick release buckles for cycle touring (no clips).

Spoiler: Not for the easily insulted...

I know in the last several decades we have gone from jungle to bush, but can one truly use the word bush anymore? Asking for a friend.

 

[Behr]

Yes.

 

[malinoisvol]

Beat around the bush.

Bushwhacking? Bush league? What do we call bush babies, now?
