5.11® A/T 8" Side Zip Boot

Anthony, Acum 1 an

I have been using these boots for almost 3 years now and they are super comfortable and a a very secure fit the only issue is that the soles wear out very quickly maybe a 2. 0 version that has a longer lasting sole with more grip would be nice

Boots look great but they are just too narrow and after months of wearing them , I thought they would loosen a little and be broken in but still just way to snug and uncomfortable I will be having to buy a different boot.

I can't keep this boot but it has so many incredible features that I truly want 5. 11 to continue building. The pull straps on the tongue and back are perfectly useful and intuitive while staying subtle. The locking eyelet to synch around my ankle is FANTASTIC. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue doing this! The insole is super comfy. The outsole is grippy and has a comfortably angled heel. nnWhile standing or walking flat, this is the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. nnHowever, the front eyelets dig into the top of my foot. Worse yet, when it comes to stairs, I only have 2 options: n1) so tight that I can't flex my foot without a lot of pain above and below my ankle n2) so loose that my heel pulls up and my foot shifts around enough that, after a few steps, I'm stepping on the sides of the boot.nnWith no padding in the boot's upper, there is little to no flexibility in the fit - either tight or loose. I honestly think that a padded tongue would dramatically help both problems. I desperately want this boot to work.

Loved the look and the waterproof features of the boot. I wore them for work for 2 months and the side zip of the boot rubbed on my ankle bone to the point I had to stop wearing them because of the discomfort

Comfortable at first, but unstable and slippery now that the soles have worn down so easily nnI only use these for part time work and in under 6 months the soles have worn out on them a lot nnFor the price, I expected at least a year out of them. I had previously owned HRT boots for over 15 years from 5. 11 and the soles lasted a hell of a lot longer on those.nnDisappointed. I got two pairs of A/T thinking they would last like the old 5. 11 boots used to

The 5. 11 A/T 8" Side Zip Boot delivers an outstanding combination of comfort, practicality, and performance right out of the box. One of the most impressive features is the comfort level
these boots feel broken in from the first wear. Theres no painful break-in period like you might expect with similar tactical boots, making them an ideal choice for anyone who needs to hit the ground running.nnThe side zipper is a major convenience feature. It makes taking the boots on and off quick and effortless, especially after a long shift or a day on the move. This simple addition makes a noticeable difference in everyday wear and efficiency.nnDespite the sturdy build and support, these boots are surprisingly lightweight. You get the durability and ankle protection of an 8-inch boot without feeling like you're dragging extra weight around. Breathability is another win
they manage heat well, even during extended wear, helping to keep your feet cool and dry.nnOverall, the 5. 11 A/T 8" Side Zip Boot is a solid choice for anyone in law enforcement, military, or demanding outdoor environments. They offer all-day comfort, quick functionality, and tactical performance with zero compromise.

Finally purchasing a new pair after 3.5 years of daily work wear. The sole is great for frequent standing, especially when dealing with things like ladders or ledges where the full foot can't rest flat. Can't complain about the ankle support. The leather has just enough give that they wear in nice and comfortable to your foot, though after a couple years I found the stitching near the small toe began to separate. The zip-and-go functionality creates one less hassle on busy work mornings. Overall a winner that I will keep using for work so long as quality remains consistent.

I work on my feet almost my whole shift, which can range from 8-16 hours. The shoe is really durable, great grip on wet/multi surface floors and supports my ankles with the laces and the side zipper. I just wish the sole of the shoe was more comfortable/cushioned. After a month with them I can already feel like the soles are flattening to where I can feel the rubber tread. Nothing too crazy like a cheaper shoe collapsing, but insoles should fix it within another month or so of wear. Toe fits great, if I wear thicker socks its better as thinner socks can have me feeling the toe stitching and thats never fun. Female, officer, heavier/tall build.

This will be my 3rd pair of these boots. I work 12 hour days as a LEO and these things are very comfy. My only gripe is that they don't last as long as I would like them to. I get any where from 6 to 9 months outta these boots, but I am hard on them. Great look. Nice grip. I like the 8 inch side zip because I have "old terd" ankles and I'm too old of a terd to untie and retie them everytime. I give them a solid 9.5, solely because I wish they lasted longer. Or better yet. Forever. Lifetime warranty would be very cool. Hint Hint!

These are my third pair . I am on concrete all day , lifting product up and down ladders. These last longer than any other duty boot or sneaker, plus the ankle support. And the A/T system does make a difference, after hauling heavy loads all day my feet, knees and lower back feel a lot less fatigued or sore.

First of all & no joke in the last 3 months have been looking for a black pair of duty boots for CDCR and have ordered several different pairs trial & error. Danner, Under Armour, Altima, Nike which are all great brands and I've had great experience in the past with but after my 6th pair was simply fed up with ordering & returns but now have a great relationship with the UPS store members LOL Went to the 511 store with the wife and spotted this model boot just over the weekend and figured what's one more attempt and tried it on... I'm not BS anyone by the time I went to the counter to pay for them, I already had processed a return for the new Under Armour boots I had sitting in my car I just received. The 511 boots felt exactly like I've wanted my boots to be and couldn't be any happier. Everyone has different opinions and all the other brands are quality items but the 511 ended my journey of headaches and thank you so much for making the perfect boot that works for me. Please don't go changing them or discontinuing them:+1:

I have been wearing boots for all of my adult life, whether in the military, fire service, or EMS. These are by far the most comfortable boots that I have ever owned. I honestly look forward to wearing them. More comfortable than most of my sneakers. only 4/5 because I have only had them for roughly 3/4 of a year and they already have lost most of their tread and will need to be replaced soon, but you can be sure I'm buying a replacement pair of these boots.

To start I'm very picky with my footwear. Feet carry us through life so taking care of your feet with quality shoes is important to me, that being said I've always stuck to "hiking sneakers" or "trail sneakers" or very precise walking shoes for jobs that required me to be on my feet a lot. 4D Ultraboost were my go to for awhile and I still do love them but with everyday wear they wear out infinitely faster than boots are supposed to be designed for. I had gotten these with aspirations to enlist and I needed new work boots anyway so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone kind of thing this was give or take nine months ago now and ever since I've gotten these I haven't taken them off... I was just thinking about it while lacing up to walk my dog in the snow and I'm just so grateful that I bought these. I wore through the insoles already but I had a few better third party ones laying around so I just recently switched them as well and again, wow. nnComfort: 10nStyle: 10nPracticality: 10nn10/10 boots. I CANNOT recommend enough.

One month in and the A/T sidezip boots are great. it has a lot of padding, they're easy to slip on while tied due to the zipper, and the lacelocks work well. My only qualm is that they had sharp plastic at the top of the zipper boarder, it was easy enough to file down myself once it was noticed.nnIf budget is an issue wait till they go on sale. They'll be worth it.

These boots offer a good balance of relatively light weight and decent ankle support. I have very bad ankles so support is important and the side zip is great for me. I'm not concerned about speed as much as ease of on/off. I don't have to unlace them all the way each time. I walk a lot for my security job and the Ortholite foot bed is like walking in a sneaker. Great boot.

Thus far 4 stars. Still in the break in period though so it may improve. For walking with load it has been great esp in full gear for law enforcement.

I ordered the wrong boot online, went to the store in Thornton, CO where the staff was very helpful and helped me get the boot I was looking for. For a boot under $200 there is no beating the 5.11 AT. My last pair lasted me over a year where boots over $200 fromnnOther brands made it maybe 6 months. The arch support, cushion, tread, design for comfort and overall durability are fantastic.

It was suggested by my recruiter to get side zip boots for ease and speed of putting them on. It doesn't work. You still have to untie them, loosen the laces and use a shoe horn to put them on. However, they are comfortable and relatively light weight. Time will tell if they last.

Im a state correctional Officer, and spend my 8.5 hour shift on my feet most of the time walking or running around the compound. I normally wear a size 12 and the side zip is extremely important for me because I have to take them off every time I come in and out of the control room which is at least at the beginning and at the end of every shift. I will say that I have thoroughly enjoyed these boots. Ive had them now for two or three months now. Although the first week or so they were a bit uncomfortable and I did have a little bit of pain across the foot and on the inside zipper I chalked it up to just a break in period. Which after a few days the boots did break in and now fit great and are very comfortable to run and walk in.

I needed new station boots and was looking for a new boot to try. These started off awesome as many before have said, there really isnt a break in period. They start comfortable and are light weight. The problem is that they fall apart quickly and are not up to the task of Fire/EMS. Less than a year of having them the insides fell apart, the zipper disintegrated, and the sole now makes the most annoying clicking noise. For the price I would not recommend these boots. Good start but boots shouldnt fall apart this quickly.

Honestly, I could throw some Dr. Sholles in there and keep going and unless Im standing on hard ground all day, I dont really feel the discomfort. nnThese boots are durable, they last, and even with me procrastinating replacing them- they have held up just fine. nnI started looking for other boots to try a different brand out, but honestly I ended up just buying another pair of these.

Can you please stop putting side zippers on all your boots or at bare minimum make a non-side zip version. Ive always had side zippers fail when I needed a durable boot and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise. Not everyone who needs black duty boots can have, need or want a side zipper. nnAdditionally, not everyone is a cookie cutter mold. Im 65, 275lbs. I fluxate between 15EEEE to a 17EEE shoe depending on the brand and cut. This is one of first boots Ive seen in a long time that has an ergonomic shape to the foot box. But it still falls into the trap that all you footwear manufacturers rather pride appearance over fit, functionality, durability, and support. nnStop discriminating against individuals who need wider and/or bigger sizes.

Honestly you gotta love your feet and the boot you put on them, I only buy 5.11 for work boots. Helps with posture if youve got weaker ankles from cheaper end boots, looks sexy. Fairly water resistant. Hard bottoms for all terrain, even nails. Never seems to stink up on a super hot sweaty day. And fairly warm in mild winter weather. My last pair lasted almost 3 years but the boot itself couldve lasted 2 times longer if I didnt blow a hole in the toe. Im hoping his boot comes out in a coyote tan or brown so I can wear these as a causal wear in the winter.

I must say this 511 got it right with these boots. They are comfortable, long shifts are much easier on my feet. 16 hours days don't feel so bad. They don't breath as good as i like but they distribute my equipment load well on my feet, they are well padded insoles in the boot, I don't have to spend the extra money to get a better insole for the boots. These boots were so good i bought a second pair as a standby. I have tried many 511 boots and other manufactures and its hard to find a good boot. Well worth it, get yours, your feet will thank you.

I just got my pair of the new A.T.L.A.S. Boot a week ago and after that time I feel that it is definitely worth a try. Short version: they are an adjustment but if your willing to adjust to the different feel they will not disappoint you with a superior performance.In detail I believe these are much better than my last boot. For reference I used to wear 511's A.T.A.C 2.0 8" Side Zip Boot. Compared to my last boot the fit is much loser around the ankle and leg, but this comes with the bonus that they are much easier to slide on and off without untying. As for the the heart and sole of this boot, the A.T.L.A.S. system, it was a huge adjustment. Initially I didn't like the feel of the boot especially as I traversed different terrains, but after adjusting to the different feel I felt it to be markedly more comfortable. On top of that, during the winters this boot does perform better on slippery surfaces such as ice and slush. While it may not be complete traction it is noticeably better, especially on slightly slippery surfaces as a small slush puddle. Only downside so far is the Velcro strap that goes over the zipper has a tenancy to lose grip. Overall these boots are, in my opinion, so good I had to write my first review on them and I would highly recommend them if your willing to adjust.
