Question re Blauer Clash LT boots Has anyone tried these boots? If so, what are the pros and cons? Any negative experiences? I've had back surgery so the tie-up mechanism looks like the answer to a prayer.

DARN ... back to the search for the holy grail

Ya I have to 2nd that the quality of Blauer boots is crap. For general hiking/tactical shoes/boots Salomon is a badass brand and I highly recommend you try a pair. Thats all I buy now. I had some issues and injuries to the bottoms of my feet as a result of wear shoes with soles that were too soft. Salomon is the best blend of a EDC "shoe" and a boot. I live in the mountains so I am walking on dirt/rocks a lot more than people in the city.

Hope that helps.

Had some 5.11s (can’t remember which) and they were ehh. Had the Nike SFB and they’re ok; they sit in the back of the truck now as an extra pair. Had the UA Jungle Rats which were very comfortable. Was going to get the UA Valsetz until I decided I wanted a slightly more durable boot which is why I went with the Salomon XA Forces GTX. They’re awesome. They’re goretex which has been great walking through puddles, mud, or whatever and I just spray them off. They’ve been very durable and probably all I will get for a while.

If you need a polishable boot, I believe they have the Urban Jungles. I just can’t comment on them since I’ve never had them. I believe Merrell also makes a polishable duty boot.
