Maelstrom Men's LANDSHIP 8 Inch Military Tactical Duty Work Boot with Zipper

Comment

I didnt expect a high quality product for $55, and I guess these boots are about right for the price. Im not a hunter or police or EMT, or I wouldve spent $150-$200 for quality boots. That said , Im not too disappointed in these . One issue I ran into, the cardboard sub-liner between the insole and the sole was glued in incorrectly, but I was able to cut a small section out with my pocketknife and it folded down properly. The insole covers the small cut , so it shouldnt be a problem, Not worth returning them for replacement for that minor issue. Durability rating is pending, but if they last a year or 2, Ill be satisfied.

I really wanted these boots, the pictures looked great and they have all the features I wanted. When they arrived I was disappointed. They are extremely wide right through the mid point or arch area of the foot. So wide they bunch up when I roll my foot from heal to toe. They look very cheap, the leather looks like black plastic. I never wore them out and put my box out with the trash when I received them being so excited they were what I wanted. Long story short, I cannot return them now without the box and they are so wide they look like irregular clown shoes. I am very disappointed with this purchase and more so with myself for buying cheap Chinese boots and throwing out the box before being completely satisfied with them. You get what you pay for.

The Boots ran way to big. I bought a size 8W Landship 2 boot assuming the fit would be similar to my previous order for a size 8 original Landship boot. I tried then on and the new boots had to be at least 2 full sizes to big. I measured the soles against my old pair and the new boots were 1.5 inches longer than my old pair of 8s. My guess is the wrong tag was sewn into the boot since when reviewing the Fit section in the description the boots are supposed to be "as expected" or run small, not 1.5 inches too long. I really like the boots but dont know what to order now. Do I order a six and hope the new boots really run large or order the same size again and hope the boots fit. Needless to say I immediately returned them. MAELSTROM HELP ME OUT HERE.

After reading the reviews I added these to my order quickly. Delivery was very prompt! Ordered late night Dec 9, received Dec 12 - cant beat that from just about anybody. The nitty-gritty: I have wide 10.5 feet and these leave me plenty of room for my toes, so very comfortable. The first day I didnt wear appropriate socks so my feet were slipping a little bit, but after wearing normal (to me) socks they are just fine. The zipper is the main reason I purchased these boots so I can change my socks half-way throughout the day as Im a delivery driver. The zipper is smaller than showed in the photo, but still functional - probably would be better with the larger zipper shown. I ended up receiving a "dud" pair of boots, really just one boot where the upper over the toes started cracking after a few days - bad piece of material I guess. This will be the first thing I ever try to return. Again after the previous reviews perhaps I just got a lemon. They ARE comfortable though. EDIT: Maelstrom contacted me almost immediately after my review was posted (within the hour, possible even within the half hour but not positive about this) and without question refunded my purchase. For this alone I have revised my rating and also will purchase from them again.

I really wanted to like these boots, I even tried to convince myself they fit. they do not. I normally wear a size 14 and ordered a size up and I could barely fit my foot inside. the back of the boot gouges into my heels and no amount loosening up the laces made it comfortable. The construction also leaves me a little concerned. There are parts of the leather that arent even fully glued down on the rubber sole.
