Garmont T 8 NFS 670 Tactical Boot

What they have been through:Can't show pictures because I fell into a lake (with these boots on) and my phone camera is messed up. Very well made and good looking boots. I've wore them for the better part of a year now and put them through a lot of abuse. I've ran I don't know how many miles in them, I did 4 or 5 8+ mile ruck at high pace and did land nav with my not so bright squad leading me up and down a small mountain all day. I got red clay all over them and after a few more days of use there's no sign of the clay at all. I have no fingernails because I refuse to protect my hands whatsoever so I frequently untie these boots with the blade of a knife, and I know it's just nylon but the laces are holding up nicely especially the aglets. I use the aglet to assist in untying on all of my footwear, my 150 dollar pair of running shoes had the aglets break and come off, I've owned then and used them basically the same amount of time as these boots and the aglets aren't really showing any signs of wear.Pros:True to size: I struggle with some brands because of my weird and probably messed up feet, these boots fit nicely and feel great.Lightweight: these boots are very lightweight especially in comparison to the issued boots. NFS I'm pretty sure stands for need for speed, and these boots will help you get that.Grip: I thought I would slide around In these things but I was able to climb a 70ish degree muddy slope with some technique. I never had a moment when grip was something I didn't have wearing these boots.Value: these boots retail about 170$ on garmonts website, I don't know how Amazon gets them cheaper but they are definitely worth the money. Lots of people I know wear them and highly recommend them.Cons:Outsole thickness: the rubber it's made of is good stuff but the non aggressive tread means you are going to be on slicks after a year or two of heavy use, which isn't bad, but you will get alot more life out of the garmont falcons. I did most of my running in running shoes but after nearly a year my tread is almost flat in the front and back. Everything in between seems almost untouched.
