Hey fellas!
I currently have a pair of Danner Arcadia 400 gram thinsulate boots that I wear on duty....great winter boot!!! I have not yet served during the summer months and I'm thinking that I may have to go with a lighter boot for the warmer months. Im looking at the Danner 8" Striker GTX boots for an option. Can anyone chime in on my selection? Advice? Reviews? Thanks in advance!!

Adidas gsg9 boots, like slippers and very supportive. A little pricy but well worth it.

This topic has been discussed before in the past but I still SWEAR by my Corcoran Jump boots. Comfortable, sharp looking, intimidating as hell and take a great shine. You'll find many people on here that will agree wholeheartedly.

Corcoran II Field Boots here. I prefer the tradition boot sole over the Jump Boot style

Second the Corcoran IIs, with the Vibram soles. Break them in around the house before wearing them on a patrol shift-- you need some flex in the leather or else you will cut off circulation when gassing and braking. Rub them down with mink oil and saddle soap twice before shining them, keeps the water out. Then go to EMS or REI and buy a set of the "footbeds" (insoles) with the neon green colored torsion bar in them. I forgot the brand...they will set you back $30 but you will thank me for the advice if you work a lot of details. Those are the only insoles I've ever bought that actually made a difference, heck my feet were so comfortable at the end of many shifts that I could go home and play tennis with my wife.

It's hard to beat Corcorans or Danners, but you have to ROTATE them to make them last longer. try throwing these into the mix. I know that HousingCop uses them;

Corcoran Marauder the best. I've tried all types, Rockys, HiTec, Bates, and so on. Marauder by far the best, no break in time, feet don't sweat, very light and look great.

Bates Navy Seal Boots Model 924/922 : light (like jungle boots) but nice with uniform. Super comfortable( I am a big boy and on my feet 10-12hrs/day) These are my summer boots. I wear Belleville 700s foe winter.

How about a pair of sandals with white socks. We will call them "Air Jesuses"

:L: As long as you switch over to black socks at the appropriate age.

I would go with the Corcoran Maurauder Field boots, they are constructed of mostly cordura nylon with the toe, heel and lacing made of leather, super light, and keep your feet cool...tried and tested in the nasty summer heat of San Antonio Texas, and definately kept my feet cool as compared to an all leather boots..

This is the closest I could find for mine, had them for 3 years

Worked GREAT and VERY comfortable if walking. I can say that with confidence because I broke them in doing the Walk for Hunger (20 mi) Not a blister or backache or anything. I was surprised (and thankful!)

Now they are beat the heck so I am shopping for new ones too, heard lots of good things of Corcoran from many so I think that's the way I am going to go. Not doing the walk in them though :wink:

Cocoran II field boots are the best, although the "Air Jesuses" seem like they would be more comfortable.
