Eye In The Sky said:Look at the number of successful, profitable footwear companies in the world though. They are successful because not every shoe is made the same and not every foot is shaped the same. There is enough variety to choose from that everyone can find something that fits their feet properly.
... Ignoring a fact like there are more than 10 different shapes of feet in the universe doesn't make it less of a reality.

Mr. Gigglesworth said:I got mine last week. We weren't given the option, we were issued one of both types. It's a push so you can keep your current boots as souvenirs. I would have gotten two pairs of the lace-less boots had I been given the chance. The laced version is pretty close to coyote tan and the zippered one is a darker brown but paradoxically has an almost white sole? They are both a little too low for my taste... I prefer an 8'' boot myself. A couple open-minded individuals used them the day after they were issued to us to complete a BFT and nobody's feet were destroyed. I used my Blackhawk coyote tan warriors instead. The pair with zippers is more akin to slippers than boots and the lace-less pair is somewhat sturdier; I believe it has a steel shank in the stole. These boots are a step in the right direction anyway; on the bright side one can now simply buy any pair of the multitude of coyote tan boots on the market and call it a day.
Arid Region Boot, Magnum Amazon 4 in DOD Brown, LOTB, Blackhawk Warrior Coyote Tan, Original Swat Tan.
The zippered pair is still in the box at the office... lol
