Review: Ridge AirTac 8" boots

[U.S. Patriot]

They are made by Ridge. I wore them as my duty boots in the Coast Guard. So, I can attest to their durability. They are also very comfortable. I chose these because they are zippered. Which to me makes for an easier time getting the on and off. I also chose these because they are steel toed.

They have air soles. Which make them very comfortable for those long days. They also provide great cushioning.

The zippers are very durable. They also have velcro tabs to hold the zippers in place.

As I said they are very durable. My first pair where subjected to salt water, heat, and a lot of abuse. I highly recommend them if you need a great pair of boots. I give them 5 out of 5 stars.

I have never had an air sole puncture on me. This is the second pair I have owned. As for the steel toes. In winter you do not notice them.

I had a pair about 8 years ago and the air sole on one got punctured. If I recall correctly, there are actually two of them (a left and right side). The side that was punctured was a little softer and when walking, my foot would sink that way just a little bit. It wasn't horrible and I wore the boots for quite a while afterward.

The Ridge boots are very comfortable.

They are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I have spent more on other boots, that to me just did not stack up. They also have removable insoles which is a plus. The pair I wore on duty I actually went with Dr. Shoals inserts. Man, it felt like you where wearing shoes.
