CQR: 8 month update

I’ve tried many boots. These are the best. 8 months in Florida heat. Still look & feel broken in, not falling apart like more expensive boots. I use Dr. Scholls heal lifts. The Achilles problem I had before I purchased these boots has not reappeared. My original review is below. πŸ‘‡πŸ» I love these boots ! Style, comfort, & breathability of Under Armour, at half the price.Many reviews stated CQR boots run a little wide. So I purchased size 10, not 10.5. Glad I did. They fit perfectly, with plenty of room in the toe box.Another reason I selected CQR is I have been having an intermittent issue with my Achilles. When I researched tactical boots, CQR advertisement bullets highlighted their ankle support. I did put Dr. Scholls heel lift inserts in my CQR’s.They feel great & I have had no issues with my Achilles while wearing them.The boots needed no break in. The first time I wore them was during four hour Active Shooter Training. The training was in a building with hard surface tile and up & down stairs, which was a true test with my Achilles issue. They performed well. The soles gripped different surfaces well, with no annoying squeaking. Pretty important while tactically hunting and clearing rooms. The ankle support gave me confidence. I was able to focus on my tasks without hesitation.My last pair of Under Armour boots began falling apart at about 5 months. UA are excellent boots, but durability is a fail. I expect to get at least that out of my CQR boots. At half the price, that’s a win. Any durability beyond that is a bonus !Time will tell. CQR boots may be my new go to tactical boots.
