Men's Tactical Research 8" Class-A Series Side-Zip Waterproof Boots Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

I bought a Mens 6 1/2. They fit fine as far as size but the hard plastic lace holes / loops dig into my ankles making me compensate my gate which is creating issues with my knees. I've worn them for about three weeks and they're still not giving. The boots would be perfect if it weren't for those (4) hard plastic Durable, non-metallic molded hardware
Lace-lock low profile hooks. There are two of these on each side of one boot. I can't tell you how painful these are digging into my ankle area.

These boots have it all . Style,comfort and support. I’ve had over 60 pairs of boots during my almost 30 years of law enforcement. These by far are the most comfortable and best looking pair I’ve had.

These boots are very well made! But they are very uncomfortable. The top of the ankle is very tight and painful. I wore these trying to break them in. They bruised my feet.

Unfortunately this boot squeeze a lot around my ankle area. I'm on my feet a lot and that makes it very uncomfortable.
