Chris.

Has anyone tested, bought or been using the BlackHawk Warrior Wear Light Assault Boots by any chance? My salomon's are on their final's now and its that time of the year to dig a hole and bury the poor sods...

Or were these boots made for the commercial market and arent really used/popular with you guys that are in the military.

There is a mate of mine in the blackwater company that swears they are comfortable but he has only had them for 4 months and used them 2-3 times.

Am thinking of investing in a pair..

If you are wearing them to the mall, they may be fine.

I would not wear anything with the name Blackhawk on it if it was mission essential.

Just my .02, YMMV.

Go with the Hi-Tec Magnums long before the Blackhawks. Just my .02, I'm partial to the Hi Tecs.

Yea, thanks for the replies..guess I will give the blackhawks a miss then...will need to get the magnums from singapore as thats the closest place that sells them boots..

cheers

NDD - Been wearing the light weight Bates Spiders for a couple years now for SWAT work. Mine are the higher topped boot but with the soft fabric sides.

CONS:

Don't dig the zipper. I have a high instep and narrow foot so I suck the laces up snug and it makes the zipper moot. Just as soon it not be there at all.

Toe rubber in one pair has cracked some. Poor maintenance on my end. I just run 'em.

PROS: Light, great traction, and they acually fit me.

I put a good sports insole in them.

Bought two pair from Sportsman's Guide for like 39.95 and now I think they no longer have them. Sniper partner bought some of the all leather ones.

Got a worn pair, new pair and wish I had six or eight pair.

They work for me other than the cons above.

Can't get a Danner to fit me to save my soul.
