Interceptor Men's Force 8" Steel Toe Tactical Boots

i bought these twice, for my hardworking teen son. the first pair lasted for almost 2 years of rough use..he wore them out. i asked him if he wanted a different pair(brand, maybe more professional grade or more expensive) he said nope, he liked these too much. i highly recommend from our experience with these boots. hes a size 13 and he says they mold to your feet and he hardly ever has sore feet after work because of the comfort of the boots.

The Interceptor Force is a great, general purpose tactical boot, lightweight and fairly durable for spending a lot of time on one's feet. No matter what you get, consider a custom fit orthodic insert to relieve any pressure points for your particular arch profile. The toe box is roomy for an average width, and since this model has an ankle cover, there is no chance of accidental removal by impact or snag hazard on the ground. If you wear them properly, then your foot will probably come off before the boot will if something pulls on it hard enough. The shank doesn't seem to be hazard proof, so watch where you step. If you step on a nail, the sole of the boot will NOT stop it. I have never had to put that to the test, but it's plain to see that it is simply not that kind of boot. If that's what you want, spend the extra $100 on another model. On final note, have a pair of high durability laces standing by. The factory laces are good, but a good pair of hard-coated laces from any Boot Barn will be much better. Use the factory laces until they start to show signs of wear, then upgrade them. The boots will still have plenty of life on them at that point.
