MCRAELegacy Combat Boot with Panama Sole

I had a pair of similar boots that I bought in 2017, but had worn them out. They were made in China. I found these and was very excited to see they're made in the USA! Far more sturdy, heavier and much better workmanship than my old ones. I had a size 6W, but ordered these in a 6.5W, happy I did, the neck of the boots are a bit tight. I wear a women's 8.5W and the 6.5W is perfect for me.

So far I've been very impressed with my boots and the only reason I didn't rate as five stars is because I've only had them for one month. They arrived on time and in great condition. I'm very glad I paid attention to the other reviews and ordered a size smaller then normal. My usual boot size is 9, but with these I decided to go with size 8 wides.After wearing insulated hunting boots and snake boots these feel almost like armored tennis shoes to me LOL. I'm taking too slow break in approach and after using saddle soap and a couple of applications of mink oil I began wearing them to walk the dog and around the house. Last weekend I went on a 3 mile hike with my dog in the woods and my feet were just a little tender at the end of it. A few more weeks of breaking in and a few more coats of mink oil and they should give me good service for years to come. I will update this in a few months if anything changes.

I love this boots. They are true in size and they fit perfectly to feet. They are perfect boots for Garrison since it compliments the OCP pattern.

Muy cómodas y tienen muy buena apariencia...

They look and fit exactly like the Real Thing, from when I was in the Army, except they have a better sole than the slippery thing a GI boot has. It's hard to get 8 wide in any shoe, and I spent years looking for something that fit me as well as a standard combat boot does. I gave up years ago when I stumbled upon McCrae. If you want what you had in the military, you've found it. I only bought these to have a second pair; my last pair is on the order of four years old and they're still going strong, which is also what I expect from a boot and never got from any other company, and believe me I tried a number of them. If I could get more than year from a set of (more expensive) other boots I was lucky. So this boot looks right, it fits right, and it lasts right. McCrae. It's just right.

I like that my foot does not feel like it was put in a vice. You have plenty of room in the width when you order wide. Would order again. I ordered 1 size smaller than usuall and close on length but room to spare on width. Best buy in years.

These boots are very good at doing what they meant for them to do 20 years ago. I wore them 5 12hr shifts consecutive, and in one of those shifts my area had severe storms. I stood in running water and the boots allowed water OUT of them. They also have taken polish as intended.You should order either half a size down or if you're a W, consider a regular. I added an insert which was my plan all along.

I followed the guideline and ordered one size below my usual 11, and the fit is perfect. Now that I’ve broken-in these boots over the course of a few days, they’re pretty comfy too. I’m surprised and feel quite lucky, because it’s usually very difficult for me to find boots that fit and feel right. The only reason I’m rating these boots a 4 out of 5 is because I have yet to see how well they hold up. When I was a welder, I exclusively wore slip-on aka “cowboy” style work boots, and every pair inevitably ended up stinking like an anaerobic swamp after years of wearing them year-round, typically 12+ hours at a time, and spending a significant amount of time outdoors in muggy heat (especially in the gulf coast). I’ve already noticed a difference in the temperature regulation of my feet wearing these boots. My feet don’t feel cool, per say, but I don’t notice/am not made uncomfortable by excess heat in my boots when doing physically demanding work outdoors in warm/hot weather. Rest assured I will return to write a second review after I’ve put these boots through their paces and have seen how well the material and construction hold up to abuse. Very happy with these boots so far, and I hope I stay this way!!

Ja, dieser Dschungelstiefel ist nicht der günstigste am Markt. Doch er ist sicher der preiswerteste! Der englischen Rezension von SNAFU ist nichts hinzuzufügen.Für die europäischen Kunden aber noch eine gutgemeinte Information, die ich mir im Laufe der Jahre erst mühsam zusammensuchen musste, bezüglich der us-amerikanischen Größen und deren Anwendung bei US-Army-Boots:Zur Größen-Orientierung: US 8.5 = EU42 = UK8 (diese Angaben kann man in 0.5-Schritten weiterdenken, US 9= EU43 = UK8,5/9 ...)McRae selbst rät nun dazu, Militärstiefel ihrer Marke eine ganze Nummer kleiner zu wählen als man eigentlich trägt (vgl. etwa das Angebot hier bei amazon für den T2 coyote, hot weather-Boot).Ich habe aber die Erfahrung gemacht, dass eine HALBE Nummer kleiner völlig ausreicht.Ich beziehe mich auf den hier rezensierten Legacy und auf den offiziell an die Truppe ausgegebenen Hot weather desert TAN-Stiefel.Beachte: Stiefelsocken mit Froteesohle sind etwas dicker, gehören aber zum Stiefel (für mich) zwingend dazu. So ergibt sich eine normale Passform bei einer kleineren Schuhgröße.Die Größenangabe 8R oder 8.5R meint "regular", also normale Fußbreite.W meint breiter Fuß, N schmaler Fuß.
