XPETI Men's Raptor Tactical Boots

I ordered a 12 instead of a 11.5(my size) and it was a perfect non-tight fit! Comfort is 5 stars, it feels like a sneaker with a firm exterior, cushiony on the inside. Considering their size they are extremely lightweight for their cut. These are the best boots I've ever owned by far and I have owned many at twice the price. The quality is phenomenal, I am not overhyping this, the photos looks amazing but the boot looks better in person. They are extremely stylish considering they are combat boots, they look more like dystopian sneaker boots from the future. The exterior upper is 100% buck leather, my favorite, it is a matt finish leather in the deepest black. I wore them on day one in a New York rain storm, which means 5 inch puddles everywhere with oil etc. They still looked new the next day! the leather did not wrinkle, crinkle or buckle. My feet were 100% dry and warm but not sweaty at all, ALL day. I got plenty of compliments on the style. They really are waterproof but I may decide to Scotchgard seal them anyway. Super happy with my purchase. Thanks from New York I am a new customer for life if they stand the test of time.

I like these a lot. Just got them in, put them on, and they’re more comfortable than the $150 merrels I have. Buy these, you’ll like them. I’m a merrel 9 and these fit perfectly. I like the fact that they’re boots, but, if you have on pants, they look like an aggressive pair of shoes. The tread has bounce, not too much, but just enough to absorb the shock. Great insoles, for me, these a perfection. I’ll report back later to how long they last.Buy them, believe me, you’ll like them.

Excellent quality. Very comfortable on extended hikes.

I wore these on the Mammoth March. They held up well. I did replace the insoles that stopped the squeaking and improved the comfort. Good traction in mud and waterproof. I like the minimalistic nature and the lack of inches of cushioning made them feel connected to the ground and stable.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is my second pair of Xpeti boots and they are great. The are very comfortable, durable and waterproof.

Love this boot so far. Perfect fit with zero break-in needed. Highly recommend

Easily the most comfortable boots I've owned. Ankle support is excellent. I cannot speak as to long term durability, as I've only had them a couple weeks. But I will update this review after a few months of hard use. The value for price is excellent.

3.5THIS BOOT SLIPS ON WET ROCK AND OTHER HARD WET SURFACES.I would not buy these if you plan to use them in MOSTLY wet conditions. Otherwise I have used them on rainy days and snow. As long as it’s gravel or dirt they work well. Waterproofing was good and they are warm.Generally these are good boots and they have a great design and look to them but the slipping is a big draw down. I would advise the company to choose a different material for the sole of this boot.
