For the last 5 years, I extensively used 5.11 Taclite boots. They have been with me in 12 countries, withstood heat up to 133F (56C) and still look decent enough to wear them on a night out (even though my wife disagrees with me on that).

The biggest challenge the boots faced were trials in the Pakistani desert in 2016. My good friend John Kennedy described those trials quite well in his article: -staff-requirement-gsr-new-assault-rifle/

If someone told me that it can happen I would have said that he is a liar. It was a shock, really. I think I looked funny jumping around like a little girl playing hopscotch in the middle of the desert with about 30 soldiers and officers staring at me.

Later, military guys decided tо take it easy and we started to do all the testing in the evening. Once temperature dropped to 120 F (48C) degrees, the heat was not a problem anymore. Surprisingly, the sole did not melt or crack, and I am still wearing those boots. My smartphone battery boiled that day and I had to replace it, my trusty Casio G-Shock melted a little bit near the clock face, but at least my boots were fine.

Another reason I really liked the boots, and why they got a lot of use over the years, is that I could wear them both in the desert and to the decent restaurant. Once, in Abu-Dhabi, we were suddenly invited to a steakhouse in the Ritz Carlton. Wearing a decent shirt, khakis and 5.11 I did not really look out of place, unlike many of my friends dressed in variations of tactical tuxedo.

After talking to a few company representatives, I am under the impression that 5.11 Taclite boots 8- inch are still in production and only 6-inch model is being discontinued (I wish it was the other way around). Also, new Halcyon looks like a potential replacement of 5.11 Taclite boots, but only time will tell how good they are.
