    Are those cool tactical boots good for hiking and running around in muddy wet trails?

    By HikingOn | April 29, 2009

    Yeah, I need some good boots and saw those and thought they come up a bit high, but it might be good because it rains here all winter, doesn't get that cold, and the trails get muddy. However, it looks like everyone tucks in their pants into the boot. Has anyone tried them out?Are they comfortable for a long day(s) of travel?

      Yes. A good pair of tactical boots are worth it. Make sure they're waterproof, and try them on. Make sure they fit good and snug and are comfortable. Stay away from any pair that feels uncomfortable or like it needs "Broken in."

      You Can tuck your pants cuff in. It will keep you drier and protect your legs in the short term, but I always pull my cuffs out after a while anyway.

      Finally, the top Eyelets for the laces are usually holes, not hooks. Put the laces in backwards when you tie the knot so you can tuck it inside the boot too. This keeps it from coming loose.
