The Khyber is a revolutionary hybrid combat boot that conquers mountainous areas as well as rough terrain. Once you wear this boot in the field, you will realize that it represents a significant step forward in tactical footwear.These boots were designed by Belleville Shoes in conjunction with the special forces community to provide a sturdy, rugged boot that gives excellent ground feel and mobility. The intent of the integrated deeply-serrated heel and toe aids the sole to provide a better feel for the terrain underfoot and can assist in braking & arresting slides as well as aiding in vertical climbing & crawling. While the VIBRAM "IBEX" outsole is for the rugged terrain, the TR-1 Load Bearing Orthotic insole ensures comfort while enduring such ground. The rappelling bars on the outsole extend the wear of the outsole, while the breathable combat lunar lining and heel & toe overlay design extends the overall Wear and Life of the boot. These 8-inch tactical boots feature a side zipper entry with molded security overlay for easy-on and easy-off.Belleville has been making combat boots for Uncle Sam since World War I and is currently the largest boot supplier to the Department of Defense, but when they set out to design a new line of tactical combat boots (dubbed Tactical Research), they did not let tradition hold them back. They pioneered a novel approach that provides everything you need – reliability, stability, and traction – in a lightweight, comfortable boot that provides sure footing and an improved feel for the ground.Why clunk around with an inch or two of rubber stuck to the bottom of your feet when you can glide through your area of operations?For Women's Sizes go 2 size down from your regular Shoe size (ie. Woman's size 8, chose a size 6).

Zipper feels flimsy, and its difficult to zip up
I have two gripes with these boots....1- The zipper feels flimsy. Its very thin, and it just feels like its low quality. Ive worn it for about a week now, and I feel like the zipper tab is going to break off. Ive read reviews on how others have used it for 5 days a week, 8+ hours each day, and the zipper broke like after a year or so. If I can get 6 months, Id be very happy. However, this leads to my 2nd problem with the boots....2- Its difficult to zip up. Every time I zip up the boots, I have to push the two zippers as close as I can, and then I have to push down on the leather flap to zip it up. And even then, its a struggle, which makes me feel the zipper wont hold up for over a month.I buy zip up boots because its so much easier and quicker to put on and take off. These are terrible zip up boots because its difficult to put on or take off, and the laces come off afterwards, which means it takes longer than just regular boots. The only reason I gave these boots 3 stars, and why Ill still use them, was because other than the zipper, its quality boots which saved me from breaking my ankle after a terrible roll. If I had my Nikes on, would have been a different story, but I wouldnt recommend these boots to anyone, and Im not buying a second pair.
