Falling apart after 6 weeks
This is my second pair of these boots. The first pair was very comfortable, but the bottoms started to come off after about a year and got worse very quickly. This current pair, the bottom started to peel off after 4 weeks and I'm going to see if I can get a new pair. They are very comfortable, but there seems to be a problem with how the sole is attached.

Great Boot
I have had these boots for almost 2 years now and they are finally starting to be uncomfortable. I use the boots in fire/ems/security/farm. only real complaint would be that they hold a lot of dirt and not good to be taking in paitents house after rain storm. No structural problems.

Excellent Choice
Reliable and proven in hazardous duty environment.
I wore the military version of this boot for 20 months in the hot terrain of Kuwait. Amazed at the comfort level, even during extremely hot months.

Comfy but weak
These boots feel great and are lightweight. However, within one week the material started peeling off of the toes and within a month I had to start painting them in order to keep wearing them to work.

I'm thrilled
I am now purchasing my second pair. For my feet, these are more comfortable than my air jordans. My neighbor asked if I still had foot pains the other day. I said no I bought these boots.

Wonderful, Durable, Comfortable Boots
Second pair, this time I'm going with the safety toe. 1st pair still hanging in after two years of 24 hour shift firefighting and rescue work. Just now starting to wear. Good product.

Most comfortable boots I have worn
I have been a Law Enforcement officer for over 23 years and have worn many boots. I have arthritis in my ankles, so I have to be very selective in my footwear. The Converse SP509 is by far the most comfortable I have ever worn and very good in a marine enviroment. I got about a year and a half of heavy wear out of them before I got a second pair.

Could be better, but Galls is making good.
Got first pair. Back busted after wearing 8 to 10 times, but Galls is replacing. Fit fine and good support. We'll see if the next pair does better. Thanks Galls for doing the right thing.

Best boots in my 13yr. career
I have worn many boots while on the job, but none beat the durability and comfort of this boot. All the other boots I've worn lasted a year and the insole had to be replaced after 6 months. I'm 6'4" avg.280lbs. These boots are 2 1/2 yrs. old. I replaced the insole about 6 months ago! I went two years, on my feet for hours at a time, at my weight and I didn't replace the sole for 2 yrs.! To me that's Awesome! And get this the bottom of the soles look like they're still new! I tell everyone at work how great they are and I swear by them. I'm ordering a new pair now. We'll see if they are constructed as well as my first pair.

Great Boots
I've had these boots for 2 years, and they have held up through anything. Safety toe comes in handy and the boots are very light. Feels like you are wearing a tennis shoe and can easily be worn for 12 hours or more.

Horrible, BUT SO COMFORTABLE!!!
I bought these boots while working in Iraq. They will bake your feet! Every hour I would have to take the boot off and let my foot cool down and dry, even in a A/C environment. The bottom soles also suck, the tread is a little too close together so you will collect small rocks. And they were worn down after 6 months of walking. BUT SO COMFORTABLE!!!

Greet feel, but doesn't last long
These boots are great. Look and feel terrific. The only thing is, they started to come apart after 6 months of patrol. If it lasted longer, I would only buy this boot.

Very lightweight and comfortable
I have had these boots for a little over a week now, they are so lightweight and comfortable. I will write again in a couple of months to update on durability. If you are on your feet and walk all day this is the boot for you.

Love them so far!
I have been using these for three months working full time EMS and volunteering with a local FD, and they are great! Very comfortable, wearing well over long periods on my feet, and holding up nicely to some punishment.

My favorite boots EVER!
I've been wearing boots since I was 14 in the CAP.
Served 3 tours w/ USMC as corpsman, LOTS of boots there! These boots are quite simply the very best, most comfortable boots I've worn in 22 years! BUY THEM! You won't be disappointed.

Most comfortable boots I ever owned!
Lightweight and durable. The sole has held up great in the harsh high desert climate of northern Nevada. Just ordered my second pair.

If you have wide feet/toes think again
I was very happy with delivery time, style, weight and look of this boot, but if you are considering this boot and have wide feet/toes please keep in mind that this boots composite toe is very narrow and doesn't support wide feet.

Most uncomfortable boot ever
I used these for about 2 weeks and hated them from day 1. I thought I would get used to them and into the second week just took them off and went back to my old ones. They have been boxed up collecting dust since.

Best I have ever bought.
These Converse boots are great. I think they are the best boot that I have ever purchased. Comfortable, durable, functional. A whole bunch of guys I work with have bought them too, no complaint whatever.

The best boot I have worn to work!
I work in aviation and this boot does well for being on the concrete and flight line all day. Can not even feel the Safety toe!

The most comfortable duty boot on the market.
I have had Danner,HiTek,Magnum, and Rocky Boots during my career. These are the best because they are easy to get on and off, lightweight, and offer good toe protection. The only down fall is they aren't dressy boots, but hey we should be worrying about getting the job done, tactically and safely. - These boots are PERFECT for that!

Fits like a glove
This boot is the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I needed no break in period. I wear it everyday and plan to buy a spare pair.

Great looking
Great looking boots but it stops there. I am an aviator and thank good, because I would not last no more than 2 hours standing and walking in these boots. If you're continuously on your feet, these are not the boots for you.

TACTICAL SOUNDNESS!
These are the best boots I have ever worn in my entire life! I have already recommended these boots to the rest of my team, the zipper is a great addition especially when you need to suit up in a hurry.

GREAT BOOTS
As a diabetic and a fire maintenance chief, I stay on my feet all day long. Over the years I have worn many boots but these are without a doubt the most comfortable and longest lasting boots I have had. I also have a wide foot and it's hard to find boots that fit.

Super boot
I had purchased a pair of Magnum Phantom II's and thought they were a good pair of boots, I was wrong. I returned them and got a pair of these and I am sold. I will buy these again. They have superior support and comfort. It's like wearing a tennis shoe, but the public doesn't complain..............

Galls shopper for life!!!
I am a new Corrections officer, and so far I have gotten only the best of service from Galls. Took only 2 days for me to get these boots which are the best boots I have bought to date. They fit perfectly, and are incredibly light. Feel like I'm wearing a gym shoe. I am a Galls customer for life!

If you have to walk, this is the boot
I am a Military Police officer and a K-9 handler. I walk alot of my shift and these boots are like running shoes. This is my boot of choice and although it takes a week to break in, they are perfect after that. A+

NICE BOOT THAT DIDN'T LAST.
These were a great pair of boots. Very comfortable and look great. Only problem was they fell apart in 6 months.

Great Boot, Wish They Held Up Better
Comfortable boot, that fits great. But it just doesn't last. First pair came apart after about 8 months, and now the second pair is doing the same. If they held up better, I'd never buy anything else!

Best Boots I Have Ever Worn
I am retired military and have worn many types of boots. I now work as a civilian for the military and have been wearing these boots for the last year. I wish I had known about these boots earlier. I have never worn anything more comfortable. If I was still active duty, I would wear these and never wear anything else. All I have ever worn on my feet is Converse shoes. Great product!

Not too bad
I bought these boots over a year ago they held up pretty good for the first 6 months. As far as comfort goes they were great. But the durability and quality could be better.

Good boot BUT!!
This is a very comfortable and good looking boot. The bad thing is that if you work out in the elements the boot scuffs real easy and it starts to fray and fall apart. It is very comfortable, easy to work in but needs to improve on the quality, maybe some stronger leather.

Give them time to break in, you'll love them.
I bought these boots over a year ago. For the first 2 weeks, I had a little problem with breaking them in. Specifically, it felt tight on the small pinky toe in both feet. After they broke in, I never wore anything else.

Great boot, but changing
I have purchased four pair of these boots in the last four years. I start each year with a new pair. The boot is comfortable but the original first pair is my best and still kicking. The last pair I purchased has gone downhill. The inside insole had to be replaced because it came apart. The pair before came apart at the heel stitch. Other than the normal 12 hour shift, for use it has been a great work boot.
