Five stars because the store and staff are wonderful, and as combat boots, these are fantastic. I got the ATAC 8" Desert.
I always thought 5.11 was a brand for fat bearded incels who thought owning guns and body armor made them Special Operators. But these boots are great.
They are supportive, but lightweight and breathable with good mobility. Perfect for all the military stuff like rucking, running, smashing obstacle courses, and breaching doors in the Middle East to pump that home's unfortunate inhabitants full of lead and freedom.
I did buy these as a motorcycle boot, because I like mobility and comfort. I feel I can comfortably run from the police on foot and confidently jump over fences. I can shift and pivot easily in these, in case I ever need to fight a bum. Which has actually happened to me before.
That said, after 5 decently lengthy rides, the leather and sole are starting to separate where I use the top-right part of the toe to upshift. Not a dig on the boot, because that's not what these are made for.
They are extremely good boots, and I really like them.
