Tactical Distributors Connection :

TD sent me these shoes to test out and to review and I’m glad that they did.  I have personally been a customer of theirs for years now and have gotten some great kit from them including the Arc’teryx Echo pack when it was steeply discounted!

The shoes was made for warmer weather use so you can go fast and lightweight.

Review :

Interesting Look –

Average Grip –

Not a huge fan of the quick lacing but it’s growing on me.

Very lightweight

Extremely breathable – keep your feet dry

Fast on and off

The collar around the ankle is extremely comfortable and the material is silky smooth.  It feels amazing.

The tongue does a good job of keep dirt and debris from entering the shoe.

Took time to break them in.

A friend of mine works for the Sheriffs department and he swears by these boots and I have to agree.
