Savage Island Black Pro Patrol Leather Combat Boots

I have given the company time to reply before I write this but to no avail. Please bear in mind that the person writing this is an ex infantry soldier who is an avid walker/hiker. When the boots arrived they appeared well enough made, all the stitching was good. The tongue was not of an excellent quality but passable. On my first wearing if the boots being a five mile walk. I reviewed blistering to both little toes and also to the balls of my feet. This was only after an hour of walking. I am a scout leader and work also with cadets and will be dedinaetly advising them away from this product. They have now been returned

After 6 months of patrolling the beat (on foot) they started to show significant signs of wear. After 8 months the soles had pretty much worn out, and after 9 months they have fallen apart with the sole coming away from the boot and holes in each sole from walking. The boots are fine for the occasional use, scouts, cadets etc. But as a daily working boot they are not good enough. I got 4 years out of a pair of magnum boots with walking about 5 miles a day but these havnt lasted a quarter of that. Not really knocking them as they were cheap. But if you need boots for work then these probably won’t be good enough. I’ll be going back to magnum boots.

I had bought these earlier in 2020 but had not worn them until December 2020. After less than a month of use the sole has fallen off the left boot. It looks like the adhesive failed. The stitching that previously was used to reinforce the bond between boot and sole (In previous Savage Island boots I have purchased over the years) is ,in this case is purely decorative as you can see in the pictures, the thread was just loops inside the sole.I am not a hill walker / long distance marathon runner / hiker. These should have lasted me the entire winter.

I bought these because ethe price was good, they were on prime and the reviews were awesome. I have got to say I am not disappointed.Pro's- Comfy from day one.- Didn't require much wearing in. - Look good- Good heel support.Cons-Only one, around the edges the stitching isn't that great meaning you can see the lining slightly, I imagine this was just a manufacturing fault with my pair however this doesn't really bother me as I will be using them for airsoft and they will get pretty muddy anyway.Let me know if this was helpful

These are, without a doubt, the best pair of shoes I've worn in a LONG TIME. Have been wearing these nowfor 5-6 months and I have nothing bad to say about them..... Fantastic quality..... Very comfortable, easy to get off even if laced all the way up..... Didn't have to worry about breaking them in at all..... Very comfortable to wear..... HIGHLY recommended...... For the price you pay, you won't find a much better product anywhere.....

i used to buy security boots of roughly same make for £15 once every 12 months so i thought i go for something a bit more see if they more comftable hence these for £25 for first 2 months they was really good but shortly after some wear (i do indoor security on little outside) the soles on the inside started to wear out and it not solid inside it rubber squares with holes so was getting uncomftable so had to fill it in with some stuffing to cushion it and then it wears on the buttom so not extactly water proof any more so doesnt help walking to work on rainy days. And on the front of one boot it starting to slowly seperate from the sole only matter of time before it starts having a mouth of it own. so i dont recommend them if they put a bit more effort into the rubber sole instead of cutting corners to save on costs instead of just upping the price of boots alittle bit they would of been excellent boots but as of the current state please avoid! i gonan go shop around maybe go back to the cheaper pair as i want some reliability even if it is just 1 year! rather spend £15 for every 1 year than £25 for every 4-5 months. went to take pictures and after taking out the half destroyed in sole there rusty loose metal bar down the center and you can see how they did these gaint square rubber formation to save on rubber so now it worn it like walking on semi hard rubber lego bricks

Bought as a birthday gift and he was VERY HAPPY and pleased to receive them - said they fitted well and were comfortable. Having tried them on and walked about a bit on carpet, he announced with a wide grin, that he was keeping them on, and remarked that they are great, just what he needed. Would certainly recommend and would consider buying again as a gift for someone. Thank you Amazon xxx

The quality seems average for the price, I wouldn't expect these to last longer than 4 months. It would probably be better to shell out a little more on Magnums.These boots are narrower than other brands. Although the boots have now been broken in for this to be less of an issue, they still push my little toe inward.I would recommend a size up from what you are used to.
