FireTrooper®- Red Card Wildland Fire Boots

Loving them so far, break in has been semi-painful as expected but the fit and build quality blows a certain two letter boot manufacturer out of the water at a cheaper price for custom built boots.

Buying process affects product satisfaction

These boots work fine. For a flatlander like me, the Munson style last and lower rubber soles work great. The boot is breaking in rather quicker than I expected. I think they would be better if I could have gotten a narrower size. They were 5 weeks to arrive, but was told to get a different size was another 10 - 13 weeks. By then fire season will be pretty much winding down. So I am rolling along with ones that are too wide in the heels. Oh well. Besides them being a little sloppy feeling, there have been no hotspots. I added an insole, and my feet do not complain by the end of the day.

Bought the Fire Troopers new for my Wildland Fire Season, within 16 days the sole has come undone on both boots and I’m hoping shoe glue alleviates this as I’m not able to go see a cobbler on my days off. I’ve been a JK Boots Customer for years, and I switched over to Nicks after hearing about the quality, so this was pretty disappointing.
