I was just wondering what everyone wears as far as tactical boots go?

I'm currently using a pair of 5.11 waterproof TACLITE 8". Been wearing them for about 2 months now, very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

Danners. Might be able to snag a pair off thebreakroom.com.
I wear Danner TFX, especially since Army is cracking down on boots that don't meet the reg. I also have some Lowa boots and hikers for non uniform days, but people are starting to complain their quality is starting to decline. Nike, Oakley, and a lot of the other sneaker boots are super light and look cool, but fall apart pretty quick.
I don't know if it's worth it for $54 dollar boots, but Danner offers refurbishing services. I'll probably have my TFXs resoled when they wear down since the uppers are so broken in.i got a really good deal on these danner descenders that i have, like 54 bucks shipped. stitching is coming out, the tongue is tearing on one, and i already replaced the laces. took forever to break in, too. would not buy them again but am going to wear them until they fall apart completely.
