Best For Comfortable – Mil-Tec American ‘Rough Out’ Ankle Boots
We are very pleased with the Mil-Tec American ‘Rough Out’ Ankle Boots. The build quality is excellent, and the leather is of good quality, with a consistent thickness and some variation in knap. It’s a bit stiffer than what one would find on “heritage” boots, but it does the job. The soles are secure and provide adequate traction without excessive wear, although they’re not nailed.
The fit is comfortable, somewhere between normal and wide. The toe box is very roomy compared to most “heritage” or dress boots. After dubbing them with Hubbard’s shoe grease and topping off with Fiebings Snow-Proof, the boots turned a nice deep chocolate brown and allowed scuffs, scratches, dirt, and grease to brush out easily.
We have been wearing them daily in our truck terminal while operating a yard tractor and they have held up well against the abuse. Breakin has been slower than usual but is coming along nicely and they are becoming all day comfortable. The stock laces aren’t very good and we recommend replacing them as soon as possible to avoid excess wear.
Overall, these Mil-Tec American ‘Rough Out’ Ankle Boots are an excellent value for the price and we highly recommend them.
Pros:
- Good quality build
- Sturdy leather with consistent thickness and variation in knap
- Secure soles provide adequate traction without excessive wear
- Comfortable fit, between normal and wide, with roomy toe box
