BlackHawk Desert Ops Boot Review

Welcome!  This is a Patriot Outfitters review of the extremely popular BlackHawk desert ops boot.

These boots were designed for the military wearer BY military guys that have been-there and done-that. 

The Desert Ops Boot features an oil-resistant Vibram outsole that, in addition to being really flexible, also provides excellent traction is all kinds of nasty terrain.

The pattern on the sole has big, open lugs which are great for getting traction when climbing and making sure mud doesn’t build up in the tread of your boot.

BlackHawk decided to use custom molded Ortholite insoles – which I have to tell you make a world of difference on your feet.  Those things really help with foot fatigue.

Running the length of the boot is a steel shank to provide extra support, which also helps fight foot fatigue.

The upper is made of a tough-as-nails nylon that is lightweight and breathable.  The toe and heal pads are made out of scuff and water resistant suede.

And inside the Desert Ops Boot is the Dri-Lex lining that wicks away sweat and water, which is great for keeping your boot dry and more importantly keeping your foot dry.

The fully gusseted tongue keeps debris from getting inside your boot, and a Nilon loop on the back helps you pull the boots on.

So, I’ve got to say that overall, not only is the BlackHawk Desert Ops Boot a great looking boot, it is very comfortable and built to take punishment.

Thanks for reading...
