I don't know who the GM of 5.11 is, but it looks like they've got a good one.

I'll let some one else test them out first. I learned my lesson on being the first to test out things.
The Hi-Tech boot straight f*&^ed my feet up when wet.
The desert boots provided no ankle support when in a rocky climate.
The waffle soles suck in a muddy environment.

Glad to see you here, Brad.
Nice looking boots. The owner of 5.11 is Dan Costa, I have met him and corresponded a few times, seems to be a decent guy. I will have to check the boots out at the SHOT Show in January.
My favorite boots right now are the Wellco Deserts.
