I’m a state correctional Officer, and spend my 8.5 hour shift on my feet most of the time walking or running around the compound. I normally wear a size 12 and the side zip is extremely important for me because I have to take them off every time I come in and out of the control room which is at least at the beginning and at the end of every shift. I will say that I have thoroughly enjoyed these boots. I’ve had them now for two or three months now. Although the first week or so they were a bit uncomfortable and I did have a little bit of pain across the foot and on the inside zipper I chalked it up to just a break in period. Which after a few days the boots did break in and now fit great and are very comfortable to run and walk in.

First of all & no joke in the last 3 months have been looking for a black pair of duty boots for CDCR and have ordered several different pairs trial & error. Danner, Under Armour, Altima, Nike which are all great brands and I've had great experience in the past with but after my 6th pair was simply fed up with ordering & returns but now have a great relationship with the UPS store members LOL Went to the 511 store with the wife and spotted this model boot just over the weekend and figured what's one more attempt and tried it on... I'm not BS anyone by the time I went to the counter to pay for them, I already had processed a return for the new Under Armour boots I had sitting in my car I just received. The 511 boots felt exactly like I've wanted my boots to be and ... MoreFirst of all & no joke in the last 3 months have been looking for a black pair of duty boots for CDCR and have ordered several different pairs trial & error.

Everyone has different opinions and all the other brands are quality items but the 511 ended my journey of headaches and thank you so much for making the perfect boot that works for me. Please don't go changing them or discontinuing them👍

I just got my pair of the new A.T.L.A.S. Boot a week ago and after that time I feel that it is definitely worth a try. Short version: they are an adjustment but if your willing to adjust to the different feel they will not disappoint you with a superior performance.In detail I believe these are much better than my last boot. For reference I used to wear 511's A.T.A.C 2.0 8" Side Zip Boot. Compared to my last boot the fit is much loser around the ankle and leg, but this comes with the bonus that they are much easier to slide on and off without untying. As for the the heart and sole of this boot, the A.T.L.A.S. system, it was a huge adjustment. Initially I didn't like the feel of the boot especially as I traversed different terrains, but after adjusting to the ... MoreI just got my pair of the new A.T.L.A.S.

On top of that, during the winters this boot does perform better on slippery surfaces such as ice and slush. While it may not be complete traction it is noticeably better, especially on slightly slippery surfaces as a small slush puddle. Only downside so far is the Velcro strap that goes over the zipper has a tenancy to lose grip. Overall these boots are, in my opinion, so good I had to write my first review on them and I would highly recommend them if your willing to adjust.

These are my third pair . I am on concrete all day , lifting product up and down ladders. These last longer than any other duty boot or sneaker, plus the ankle support. And the A/T system does make a difference, after hauling heavy loads all day my feet, knees and lower back feel a lot less fatigued or sore.
Love it. This is my second pair. I highly appreciate and recommend the ATLAS technology. It made my life much better especially since I spend long hours on my feet at work. It made a significant improvement over the previous brand I used even though it was more expensive. These boots significantly decreased work-related muscle pains.
I have had these boots for over two years. Yes, I should have replaced them a long time ago, but that’s why I’m writing this review.My soles have been dead for a while, however the outside of my boots still look brand new. Honestly, I could throw some Dr. Sholles in there and keep going and unless I’m standing on hard ground all day, I don’t really feel the discomfort.These boots are durable, they last, and even with me procrastinating replacing them- they have held up just fine.I started looking for other boots to try a different brand out, but honestly I ended up just buying another pair of these.
I have been wearing boots for all of my adult life, whether in the military, fire service, or EMS. These are by far the most comfortable boots that I have ever owned. I honestly look forward to wearing them. More comfortable than most of my sneakers. only 4/5 because I have only had them for roughly 3/4 of a year and they already have lost most of their tread and will need to be replaced soon, but you can be sure I'm buying a replacement pair of these boots.
I needed new station boots and was looking for a new boot to try. These started off awesome as many before have said, there really isn’t a break in period. They start comfortable and are light weight. The problem is that they fall apart quickly and are not up to the task of Fire/EMS. Less than a year of having them the insides fell apart, the zipper disintegrated, and the sole now makes the most annoying clicking noise. For the price I would not recommend these boots. Good start but boots shouldn’t fall apart this quickly.
I work on my feet almost my whole shift, which can range from 8-16 hours. The shoe is really durable, great grip on wet/multi surface floors and supports my ankles with the laces and the side zipper. I just wish the sole of the shoe was more comfortable/cushioned. After a month with them I can already feel like the soles are flattening to where I can feel the rubber tread. Nothing too crazy like a cheaper shoe collapsing, but insoles should fix it within another month or so of wear. Toe fits great, if I wear thicker socks it’s better as thinner socks can have me feeling the toe stitching and that’s never fun. Female, officer, heavier/tall build.
Can you please stop putting side zippers on all your boots or at bare minimum make a non-side zip version. I’ve always had side zippers fail when I needed a durable boot and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise. Not everyone who needs black duty boots can have, need or want a side zipper.Additionally, not everyone is a cookie cutter mold. I’m 6’5”, 275lbs. I fluxate between 15EEEE to a 17EEE shoe depending on the brand and cut. This is one of first boots I’ve seen in a long time that has an ergonomic shape to the foot box. But it still falls into the trap that all you footwear manufacturers rather pride appearance over fit, functionality, durability, and support.Stop discriminating against individuals who need wider and/or bigger sizes.
