    I've got 'em. Love them. Can't wear with jeans unless you want your pants to drag on the ground. If you blouse your trousers, no worries.

    In the navy you can only use the boots allowed in the instructions so I can't really say much about military usage.
    but I use scarpa boots for non military functions and I know you don't like belleville but I use Hot Weather Tactical Side Zip Boots By Belleville for my hiking and moutain areas if I am ever stationed in an area that rips boots apart.

    Those Belleville Mini-Mil would be perfect for those in the fire/EMS service, look comfortable as fuck. I emailed belleville about a black safety toe option and they pretty much told me to kick rocks.

    Same worry before getting my Nike SFB. Pretty much zero protection on the toes, and the one thing I dislike about them was it took a while to actually dry up. Synthetic leather cut easily when I stepped on a piece of glass. Bottom held up pretty well though with field used.

    I'll probably end up getting those Minimil just to try em out.

    In garrison I love my issued Belleville hot weathers. In the field I was given a pair of bates that are really heavy but very comfortable to hump with.

    In the real world Justin original work boots with the steel toe. Use em for everything from deer huntin to workin on the truck to every day foot wear. My feet havent seen tennis shoes in years

    Have had several boots. The issued bellevilles are terrible and heavy. Good for going through basic though ;)
    Wore Rockies and just do not like them. Had C4T's (2 pair) and S2V's. The problem with C4T was durability. The brass eyelets disconnected within the first week of use. And the sole developed holes within a year of hard use/training. Which I guess is understandable..for a lightweight. The S2V's were just a prettier version of the issued boots to me (possibly because of wearing Nike SFB and C4T's). Also made the mistake of using the S2V's in a wet environment...not advisable, the stitching on the tongue came undone and sole developed holes (occurred about 1 1/2 years in). Not a good boot, at least for me, in terms of use, price, and abuse.

    I'd have to say Nike SFB. Disclaimer though, the old waffle style. Have had pair for 5+ years that I now use for hiking/work mainly because it is too stained to wear without getting comments in uniform. Heard people complain about the durability, but have had no problems with mine. I have a pair of the new style of SFB's and hate them.
    I'm preferential to the SFB's from my experience.

    Summer boots (uninsulated and mild tread). Had them for about 3 years and they're due for a resole (they're pretty smooth, especially the left foot)

    Winter boots (insulated, taller to keep the snow out, more aggressive tread)
    Only my second year on these and they're awesome.
