Men's Moab 2 8" Tactical Response Waterproof Boot Wide Width

Purchased these as a new pair of summer duty boots. I wear shoe size 11.5-12 in all other shoes and boots including Merrell. These were huge on my foot. I would likely wear closer to 10.5. My other issue is that they are very hot. After wearing for 15 min while sitting on my couch my foot was already sweating. I returned them for a smaller size that I will Use in the winter.

I've been using Moab mid length boots for years as my go-to work boot but decided for a full sized boot to replace my Bates GX-8 that I wear during non-working hours. They fit as expected between the mid and full size length but unfortunately they are VERY heavy which is surprising considering they don't have an ansi rated safety toe. The Moab 2 is almost exactly twice as heavy as my Bates GX-8 and I've already returned them to Amazon for this one reason, you simply cannot sprint in this boot, the weight is too much and I feel like I'm wearing a giant pair of danner loggers instead of a tactical boot.

I had to switch brands and my Merrell hiking boots were so great, I figured I’d give the tactical option a try. Best decision I could have made when finding a replacement to a brand Inwore for a decade. Walking on asphalt and concrete all days takes a heavy toll on my feet and within a few steps, I knew my feet were in love.

After years of working out, hiking, and spending hours on end of standing on crime scenes and perimeters my feet have taken the brunt of it and I now suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. A few years back I discovered the Moab series shoes for hiking. I found them to be so comfortable they became my daily wear. When I saw they started to make a tactical boot I jumped on them. I've tried other tactical boots but I've always had difficulty finding them in a wide width and you couldn't shine them. I opted for the leather toe. With a little bit of work I was able to get a decent shine. Of course they have all the comfort and features I have come to expect from Moab.
