Review on Garmont Bifida Regular Tactical Coyote by Rene Putman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best field boots money can buy!

Having always worn branded boots in my 9 years of service I have decided to join the other Joes and try the idle life. After reading many reviews I decided on this shoe. Everywhere he had the best reviews. My first impression: wow! These feel great. What have I missed? These aren't the lightest of boots, but unless you're an office jockey you need something with meat and ankle support. The laces are great and so is the tongue. The feed is great. You look great too. Some of the boots I see on some of the new soldiers look like bloody basketball shoes. One more note on weight. Weight is subjective, and while they're a far cry from standard shoes, they're not Nike either. They have some weight, but they're definitely not bad. Burglary: The first burglary was pretty rough. It didn't take long for me to develop a blister along my Achilles tendon. First blister on my leg I've ever had. Now I don't blame the boots for that. I'm in between sizes and with a very wide foot it helps to get tall. My legs are freaking weird so I don't blame anyone but them. They got wet in the rain, which accelerated the burglary. I would say expect 10 days of heavy use before they wear out. 2 week recap: They were stuck to my legs and, gosh! What a great shoe! They are perfect for those who need boots that will serve them and their feet well in harsh environments. All this ensures comfort and breathability. Definitely the best choice to download for deployment. Final Notes: An amazing download in every way. It feels great, breathes great, does what it's supposed to do and doesn't hurt my feet after wearing it 18-20 hours a day. My only complaint would be its garrison performance. This is a mid-weight boot designed for rough terrain and harsh environments and will not perform at its best on tiled/drilled floors. If you happen to walk on a wet patch of tile or a slick concrete floor. Waiting! It's just the nature of his protector. So if you work in an office or on a hanger, look elsewhere. Not that it's not very pretty, but it glides like a mofo! It can also go away with age. My boots are still new and the rubber is still hard so take that with care.
