Men's Tactical Research Khyber Mountain Hybrid

I purcharsed this boots on January 2011, they were very comfortable out of the box but 2 months walking on the Arizona mountains between Ajo and Casa Grande took a tool on them, the stitchin came off easily on the sides front and shoe laces were ripping quick on the middle, I had to replace them with 550 cord. This item is not the best for my kind of work.

I bought these boots in April 2011 while on training. They did a great job in providing comfort and plus it's very light compared to Army issued combat boots. Only issue is that stains are hard to remove. I am a medic and since we train with fake blood, my boots are now pink since the stains set in very quickly. Tried soaking and scrubbing but no success.

I bought these boots Thanksgiving weekend, Nov 2010. They were comfy and warm. But the stiching is weak! Aug 2011 while in Afghanistan I had to through them away after they failed in sevral places on both boots.They only lasted 8ish months 1 & half of which was in country, since I got here the end of July.

Very comforfable boot with my added gel inserts. I bought it for the stability and it was great for about 3 months now they are falling apart at the back seams. Overall I'm satisfied.

i have had these boots for about two months now. i must have gone through six pairs of laces already. the soles are starting to break away from the boot, and the back panels stitching is already falling apart. the only thing these boots have going for them is the comfort. i have had enough of these boots and im ordering a different pair tonight.

I recommend buying this boot online for around this price. The price at your local tactical store around your military base will rip you off my friend and will cost you around $150 bucks or more <-thieves. The boots feel comfy and almost comparable with the popular black hawk boots. The bottom seems pretty durable and long lasting as well! My only con is that they are made in China. You rarely find a good boot like this made in America. Actually, I don't think there is any.

At first they rub a bit on the back strap. Once broken in they are great. I miss a pull loop on top to get them on, the laces are fat change them to thinner ones for ease of lacing. They shine in soft steep slops of dirt or rocks. The boot to sole size is perfect for narrow spots in truck or between rocks. Super light for running with good ankle support when pulled up tight on the laces. I got the darker brown with camo, very nice. The full vibram soles on other boots (stitched on) will be softer on hard ground or pavement, with the inner foam layer they have. These are good around. With only no loop or easy of lacing as a downgrade. I would recommend them more off road work, Good value.

I like the boot overall. If your looking for a good field boot then this is it. It is not a garrison / sport boot like Nike or Oakley, it is a true boot. Drawbacks; 1. Laces keep breaking, I go through about a pair every two months. The problem is the speed eyelets are not rounded over on the edges and cut into the laces when pulled tight. 2. If you place most of your weight on your heels (like I do) then you will need to buy some gel heel pads (about $5.00) since there is absolutely no shock absorption padding for your heels. Been in the Army 22 years and have had many pairs of boots. Overall, I like the look, feel, and durability of these despite the few shortfalls they have. That is why I am buying another pair but in multicam today.

Boots are great right out of the box. They broke in easy and work great in the mountains and rocks.

best boots ive ever bought!! i was gonna go with nikes but im glad i changed my mind. well worth the money.

I have flat, flat feet and needed a boot that would endure infantry training. I purchased a pair for Light Leaders course in Miss during July and Aug. They were immediately comfortable rucking and patrolling. They were also very comfortable in the snow in Nebraska. I am going to purchase another pair for Sniper School. Fantastic all around boot. They also have great ankle support and good traction.

I have been completely impressed with the fit and wear of these boots. They do well in both heat and cold with snow. The sole does not get hard until well under zero. The boot itself has not had any tears or breakdowns before the sole wore out. I can only complain about the laces i had one break quickly but putting the standard boot lace in fixed that problem

Got these for Christmas, and have worn them almost every day since. Would give it a 4.5 star, but since they won't do 1/2 stars, round up to five stars. Been wearing them for about 5 weeks now so here is THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE UGLY. The Good Super comfortable, no problems breaking them in. Shoe-like in comfort. Heck may not have needed to break them in, but it's a good excuse to wear them around. They are that comfortable. And yes I've been wearing them almost every day for 5 weeks now. Very good ankle support. No concerns when I go camping and backpacking in the near future. if they last as long as my last pair of boots (11 years), I'll be going to Philmont or Bechtel in them with my scouts. Did a short 1 mile hike and had no problems. Very good traction. Played in remnants of snow, ice, and mud. No problems moving about. See 'The Ugly" about the treads though. No slipping and sliding. The Bad Laces are short. Just takes a little longer putting on. I've already ordered some tan 550 cord to solve the problem, no big deal. Not speed laces. The upper D rings look like speed laces, but are not. So putting on takes some time. HOWEVER if your knot comes undone or loosens up, the D rings provide enough friction to keep the boot on to provide ankle support. I can live with it. Knots have come undone 2 times and took me some time to realize they were undone. Drainage holes. Didn't realize there were drainage holes on inside curve of the boot. Not to big a fan of drainage holes, and have mixed emotions on them. Silicon will seal them up, but prevents some ventilation. Still debating. Not waterproof. A little Kiwi Protector and problem was solved. Again not a big deal. Get dirty easy. You definitely want a Kiwi Boot Cleaning kit that has the waterproof spray, boot protector spray, and the brushes. Keeps them looking good. The Ugly The treads on the boot are so deep that the wife complained that I was tracking dirt throughout the house. So make sure to take off the boots ASAP when coming into the house after playing in the mud. Worth the traction the boots give. Not speed laces. The upper D rings look like speed laces, but are not. So putting on takes some time. HOWEVER if your knot comes undone or loosens up, the D rings provide enough friction to keep the boot on to provide ankle support. I can live with it.

These boots were great right out of the box. Took maybe an hour for them to break in. Size is true to other Bellevilles. Great insole if you have a high arch. Only complaint is that I already broke a lace which is why I gave them a 4 star review instead of 5. Other than, a great boot at a great price.

5 stars
