I use Kenetrek Hardscrabble boots for my civilian career as a forester. I love those boots so much that when it came time to get new military boots I decided to go with the Kenetrek LPC NI boots. So far in my limited use of the boots they are comfortable and very supportive. My only issue is the color. It is advertised as coyote brown, but it arrived and turns out it is tan 499. Yes it is approved, but there is a difference as you can see compared to a standard issue boot in the photo. For the price I should get what is advertised. Great boot, great fit...the color annoys me.
