Propper Series 100 boots

I came across these PROPPER SERIES 100 6” Waterproof Side Zip Boots to evaluate and review so I jumped on the opportunity because I have never had a pair before! So when they arrived I was pretty surprised to discover they actually give you the inserts along with the boots for proper fitment of the boots as they use the standard U.S. sizing. I have had a few pairs of boots that say the right size but never actually fit correct before and it can be a costly event when it comes to a good pair of boots. I started checking out the features and a few immediately stuck out I noticed the outsole of it felt a little lighter than my previous pair which it always a bonus because heavy boots put extra work on me that’s not needed. I began to realize how really versatile these could be they have a good amount of soft black leather that can take and hold a good polish which suggests to me that if wanted I could deploy them in not only a professional work setting but also an adventurer type setting like hiking.
As to be expected they do take a little bit of a break in and it wasn’t too bad I have definitely had worse while I was enlisted. The key is to just keep flexing them both while wearing them and not the first few days of wearing them when I took them off to watch some television and flexed them and twisted them side to side. This is method worked very well for me by day 3 the where getting the feel of my old boots that I retired upon receiving these. The zipper is a huge help at the end of the day your tired just unzip them and yank them off. Now the zipper is very very solid I yanked it up and down so many times I actually lost count I did not want to go through the trouble of breaking them in and then have a zipper break so in an effort of thoroughness rest assured it was my first thought.
Wearing these Propper Series 100 6” side zipper boots around and walking around on my trails as I do every morning before I get my day started they continue to feel better to me with every day. See I own a good chunk of property that has many trails so as to be expected they have to be maintained so any given day I average anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 or so steps depending on what needs to be done during the day. I seriously feel these boots are one of the most versatile to that I have experienced to date I have worked in them day in and day out they start to give a good amount of flex once they begin to break in so if I step over a log it kind of curves along with my feet which gives me a more solid footing while negotiating obstacles. Another very big must for everyday boots for me is ankle support and these Propper Series 100 boots are perfect in that category in my opinion because nobody likes having a rolled ankle. Luckily we had a nice hard rain the other day so it allowed me to test the gusset behind the zipper and give me an idea of the level of waterproof they have and you know honestly I have to say I was pleasantly surprised while walking home with nice and dry socks after stepping in a good 4 to 5 inch deep puddle.
I am very pleasantly pleased with the overall construction of the boot you can just see the quality between the good quality leather to the triple stitched stitching and 1000D nylon top in the design the devil is in the details here for sure. Another thing I will mention that if you like to ride ATV’s these are a serious option for you as well with the level of waterproof these offer and the perfect height you don’t have to worry as much about getting splashed and soaking your shoes or riding boots and save a bunch of money to spend on other things. With the versatility of these Propper Series 100 6” Waterproof Side Zip boots I would absolutely recommend these boots to anyone especially with a very conservative price of $109.99 MSRP you would be pretty hard pressed to beat them.
