I've found this to be an awesome product. I play a good deal of paintball, and after being deployed to OEF and OIF I'm kind of partial to desert style footwear. This gives me the look I'm familiar with, along with a great comfort level, and the needed mobility for running, ducking and crouching. The zippers are a great plus. I'm a volunteer, so it's quite a perk to have something I can use as a general shoe, or for hunting, or for paintball, and simply slide off and pull on my gear.
