Coostar Tactical Boots for Men Lightweight Military Combat Boot Side Zipper Motorcycle Hiking Work Boots Waterproof 8 Inches

These are very comfortable, and an amazing work boot. These are a perfect fit in size, very sturdy for my ankles and support for all day standing and moving.

My son loves these and so does his friend who had me buy them for him too! Nice boots! Rough and tough for a working man! Can be worn with comfort all day long! Great buy!

So i wear a 6.5 but I noticed when I purchase shoes off brand and online I need a 7. Bam.. orders a 7, i should have ordered a 7.5. Loved the simple look / design. Slides foot it.. cushions all around. 5 minutes HOT. this boot should say for cool or cold weather. I wore them in the house first day (unlaced) I didn't like them. I wore them to work laced toe to top.. I felt like a well supposed fairy. Lol sturdy and comfortable ( but i would still order a 7.5 if i bought again). Unlaced ur foot will slide to the front. Laced (tight) its a stray jacket and ur entire walk will change to adjust. This is good for me because I have many torn ligament injuries and I felt safe in these boots. Foot gets too hot.. unzip, u dont have to compromise the laces. I gave 4 stars because my feet are super hot in these and the sizing is off by alot. For the price. Im personally satisfied

Bought one size bigger than my tennis shoes. Out of box, excellent fit. Comfortable to walk in. My job is concrete floors with 12 hr shifts. Usually have to buy new insoles from day one. Not these boots. Durability will have to see over the next few months. I usually replace boots yearly.

UPDATE: See original post below for initial review - After using these boots for close to a year now, they have only gotten BETTER! The break-in took about a month for me with 3-4 days a week usage. The side zipper step in feature has also widened a tad making them easier to step into. I was concerned about the Velcro strap wearing out with constant pulling off and on. They show little to no signs of wear! The sole hardly has wear on them also. Granted, I use them on streets and mostly easy walking/lights dirt trails. I don’t use them as a work boot on my feet 8-10hrs a day. The toe does scuff and have marks. BUT, 95-98% of the scuffs/marks wipe off easily with cleaner showing little if any damage. This has become the perfect daily boot for me. Waterproofing seems good as well up to a couple inches of water. Most of the time, when water/fluid hits these boots, it just runs off. Unless working in high water levels, this books keeps my feet dry 100% of the time. They still feel awesome, and have maintained their durability. It’s a fantastic lightweight/mid-weight boot! I plan on buying another pair in grey! Deserve more than 5 ⭐️ s. And I am picky as hell about my boots! Also, they fit my wide feet perfectly! One half size up is what I would recommend. The sole insert is decent, I added my preferred insert for $15 to make these boots off the charts comfy. Great value for the money! Ignore negative posts. I am not getting paid for this review. ORIGINAL POST: 8 years in the US Marine Corps. If you are like me, you want a rugged boot. A monster. Something to easily get in and out of that you can wear & forget about. I have 100 other things to think about and the boots I wear shouldn’t be one of them. (If they work). No, I don’t want to spend $200+ on a US Boot Brand that is made in China…. Why? Because it is a US Company but the boot is made in China? Viet Nam? But what about a $60 boot made god knows where..? I’m all for US but not at the expense of 4, 5, 6 times the cost…. Read on… I was looking for a light weight tactical boot that I could wear daily/almost daily. When working, walking, trecking, or hiking that can handle moderate to bad weather. This is what I found with these boots. (This is not a paid review. No self respecting Marine takes $ to sell crap). This is a 100% honest review. *Comfort These are light to midnight weight. Comfort on fit? B+. I added “Dr. Scholl’s Extra Comfort Support Insoles” for added comfort/support that brought these to an A-/A. I never buy any shoe/boot without adding “Dr. Scholl’s Extra Comfort Support Insoles.” You will thank me later. *Sizing Either my feet have spread more or these run a half to a size smaller. I did return and reordered a half size up for me. “From a size 11 to a size 11.5”. If I didn’t LOVE these boots, I wouldn’t have reordered. A size 11.5 was perfect… *Initial Look, Fit, Feel & Color The look? A solid “A”. Maybe bordering on “A+.” They look great and very…. “tactical/weather” ready. The feel of the material on the toe, sides, heal, and inside are an “A” to an “A-.” Overall grade? A VERY solid “A.” If I had to cry about something, I would want the toe/heal even more sturdy. But that is a Marine War Horse looking for something to cry about. (Take note). The Feel is great. They feel the “part.” Rugged light to mid light. The color I selected was “Sand.” I would say the color is accurate to “desert sand” climate/warfare. Nothing about that color would say “WTF! It doesn’t belong!” Color “is a solid “A.” NOTE: This is not an 8” boot that you drape/blouse your trousers over/inside. This is a shorter boot that I prefer. I prefer it and like the side zipper. More on that later. *Features of the Boot 1st, I LOVE this mid ankle boot with the side zipper. Few make boots of this size with a zipper and this makes getting in and out a breeze. No more lacing your boots up for 5 minutes when the wife is finally ready to go. Married Men??? You feel me? :) The Velcro flap closes over the zipper preventing it from dropping. This is an area of concern for me. That flap is made what seams just “ok” material. I could easily see this part wearing out if you plan on using the side zipper like I will. It’s stitched well BUT the material is slightly lacking IMO. The zipper itself takes some effort to lower it. This gives a person confidence knowing the zipper won’t just unzip. Metal eyelet holes in the boot, top 4 easy lace eyelets, and the heavy duty laces themselves make this a great boot also. ONE of the BEST features on this boot are the two oversized “pull straps”, 1 on the tongue & the other on the ankle portion making it easy to use with gloves on! Excellent and well thought out. The extended toe cap is perfect to protect the most vulnerable part of your boots. And also protects from wet conditions seeping into the foot area. A+. The heal/ankle support is fantastic and would prevent a roll. *The Lug & Insert The sole is beautiful. It reminds me of a softer rubber “Vibrum” material. Good for both hot and cold environments. I really like the tread pattern. Open and spread out to add grip in slippery environments. Also drops mud/material before eating the house with a few “stomps.” My ONLY gripe is the pattern is shallow. Meaning it could use another 1/8th to 1/4” depth to the tread…. But I love my boots and want to wear them for years. This tread should last on high wear surfaces 1-2 years easily. Moderate use, 2-3 years. If low wear environment? Maybe 3-4 years of moderate use. I’m not talking about the material or seams. Just the soles. The material and seams? I can’t say because I haven’t had them for 3, 4, 5 years…. They “look” like they will hold up. I will update if my feelings/impression changes. The Lug within the sole is mid weight I would guess. It has some bend by hand but not overly flexible. That seems like a nice blend for this type of boot. Easily can wear for 6-8 hours under minimal to moderate load. I like them. The insert is an inexpensive but nice, firm, and comfortable foam. I replaced them with “ 8 years in the US Marine Corps. If you are like me, wou want a rugged boot. A monster. Something to easily get in and out of that you can wear & forget about.

That seems like a nice blend for this type of boot. The insert is an inexpensive but nice, firm, and comfortable foam. *Material I am surprisingly impressed. All of the materials are what I would consider MODERN, lite, quick drying, long lasting, RISP stop, & top of the line. Military grade? If not, close to it. An “A+…?” That is tough. It’s is at least an “A” grade material. My question is “will the seams hold up” even though the material is “A” grade? Time will tell. Heat and usage will tell. With all Specialized boots, it’s ALL about the seams. Can the hold up? If I had to “guess” based on what I see? This is a 3-4 year boot under normal daily usage. Under heavy usage? 2-3 years… This is a 100% guess based on the material, workmanship, and finish. See above about the Velcro strap. *Usage This is what I would consider as a light to medium weight boot. I could easily walk all day in these and not feel the fatigue of a heavier boot. The boots are waterproof but could be prone to staining if used around oily environments. Dust, sand, trails, desert, horse stalls, this is great for those environments. *Expected Life For my light usage, 3-5 years. Heavy usage, 2-3 years. Both are guesses but educated ones based on material, fit, finish, & design. *Over All Review “A- to A”. There are a few improvements I would make: 1) Improve the sturdiness of the material on the Velcro strap. 2) stitch the sole of the toe to the boot preventing it from possible separation. 3) Increase the rubber sole tread depth. Do those things and keep the same price? This is an A+ boot. Make sure you add a “Dr. Scholl’s Extra Comfort Support Insoles” for that extra cushion…. Made a HUGE difference in the boot. *Material I am surprisingly impressed. All of the materials are what I would consider MODERN, lite, quick drying, long lasting, ripstop, & top of the line.

not bad, waterproof yes, if you have fat toes or bigger feet you’ll like it but for normal to skinny feet when I’m going down hill my foot slides forward jamming my toes into the end, or maybe the ankle part just wasn't well thought out And the zipper could be a little longer cuz it’s not easy to slip your foot in if you have it laced as tight as you need it defeats the point of having the zipper maybe that’s why my feet slide forward cuz in order to have the quick zipper use for easy on and off I can not lace them as tight as I need to like with the Under Armor boots I previously had that were twice the price… i’m going to go back to them, sometimes saving money ends up costing more in the long run, these boots are not light either if you want great zip up boots check out the under armor

Really comfortable boots from the time I put them on till the end of the day would definitely buy again.

Great well made boots for the price but for sizing i wish i wouldve got my normal size as sizing up made them way too big. I wear a size 11 in under armor, 11.5 in new balance or timberland and 12 with nikes, a size 12 with these is WAY too big, I'll probably need a size 11 with these for them to fit right, but they are light weight and feel great especially for the price. Just be warned that ypu shpuld get your regular size or maybe even a half size down. And yes i was wearing thick winter socks.

Excelente material, seguridad en el pie y comodidad

I wasn't expecting much out of these boots as they were pretty inexpensive. I bought them as a coworker raved about them. They have a lot of cushioning, they are comfortable and sturdy. The construction of the boot is also good quality. The ONLY reason I gave them 4 out of 5 stars is because they are NOT made for someone with a wide foot, and I am not talking about an ultra wide foot just average. I then purchased a shoe stretcher which cost the same as the boots, and it was not able to resolve the issue I was having with the boots. Sadly I no longer wear these boots as my feet hurt at the end of my shift.
