playboy Posted February 15, 2012 #1 Posted February 15, 2012 For those that have them are you still happy with them and do they have the force flex sole. Also are there any retailers for Milwaukee boots not to keen on ordering them without trying them on. Are they good for all day wear and walking.
davecb Posted February 15, 2012 #2 Posted February 15, 2012 I have 2 different pair. One I've had for 4 years, the other, 2 years. They are a heavy boot, so long walks aren't that great in them. They wear extremely well, and the flex sole is great. No need to break these boots in...
GAWildKat Posted February 15, 2012 #3 Posted February 15, 2012 Mike bought a pair last spring for riding the bike, they are a heavy boot and he liked them. But they hurt his feet a bit after a while. We added some gel insoles to add more cushion. However they didn't last as long as he thought they should have. The soles had worn through last month. I'll still be taking them to the local cobbler and getting new soles, new boots however were just as cheap. He replaced them last month with a pair of roadwolfs, so far they seem to hold up better and wear better.
RSTDdog Posted February 15, 2012 #4 Posted February 15, 2012 Don't know about the Milwaukee boots,I have a pair of the Bates GX8 Tactical boots I use for riding. Well made, comfortable, waterproof, can walk in them 129.00 at Bass Pro Shops, 99.00 at Academy last time i checked If you have one of those near by. I tried on several pair and brands of boots I really like the Bates. RSTDdog
TDunc Posted February 15, 2012 #5 Posted February 15, 2012 I can wear them all day, take them out of the box and hike 6 miles and they last well for me. You can buy them in brown or black. and about $70.00. I have had one black pair that I use just for motorcycle and they are over a year and a half old. [ATTACH]64158[/ATTACH]
Chinto Posted February 15, 2012 #6 Posted February 15, 2012 I just bought a pair of Milwaukee boots this past weekend at the Chicago Bike Show and have been wearing them the past two days. I changed the insert to something more supportive which now makes the boot feel great with walking. The other observation is I normally wear a size 9D but with these found that 8.5D fit much better. So I think the sizing runs a half size larger than normal. Bottom line is now that I changed the insert I fine these boots are the most comfortable boot I have ever had. I can't answer how long they will last but I am hoping a long time.
