I'm looking for some lightweight everyday utility boots, that can double as light hikers.
I've been looking at threads about Magnums,Bates, Danner Stiker's, 5.11's etc. I was have a couple questions I was to get some input on.
I'm looking for something that is lightweight and cool with decent support and durability these will be used mostly in town but with the option to take them on light hikes without destroying them.
I'm not a big fan of gore-tex boots but it can be hard to find some models that don't have gore-tex, so I'm considering buying one pair of black semi-dress type boots and another pair of desert style hot weather boots for the summer.
I really like the idea of boots zippers for fast or no light doffing/donning but it's just theoretical to me right now.
Can anyone offer some firsthand experience and pro's and cons of zippers. Are they reliable, tight enough fit, do they blow out at all?
In summary I'm looking for"
military/law enforment style
lightweight (running in them isn't a trial)
cool
durable enough
with zippers
Most important is, does anybody know of a store that stocks a good selection of the "military style" footwear Calgary. Boots are one thing I really hesitate to buy online.
I've been to Wholesale sports and Bass Pro Shop they have a few models mostly Danners.Mark's Work Warehouse is mostly limited to heavy safety toe work boot styles in store.
I was wondering if there any stores that specialize in this type of law enforcement/military style gear.
Thanks
