Nike Men's Air Max Goadome Boot - Waterproof Winter Hiking Shoes for Outdoor Adventures & Snow Activities

Best work boot EVER!BACKGROUNDI started wearing Nike's in high school in 1989. After that I wore various other Nike sneakers for work shoes since 1994.About 2 and a half years ago or so I developed chronic foot pain, also known as plantar fasciitis.As a result of this I began wearing the Nike Air MAX 90, (which were the most comfortable Nike's I could find) for my work shoes for the last year and a half.I also began wearing Pinnacle Prostep insoles along with the Air Max 90. This combination along with wool (thick cushioned) socks is very comfortableAs you can tell have always been loyal to the Nike brand. I've tried a few other brands of shoes along the way but none gave me as much comfort as Nike's.Recently I started looking for a good looking, comfortable work boot. The first boot I looked at was the Timberland Pro 6" Helix boots with "anti fatigue". This boot comes with a built in thick foam cushioning inside the shoe underneath the insole. A feature I've never seen on any other shoe/boot. The insole in this boot is pretty good too. Not your standard cheapo insole that come in most shoes.The foam cushioning in the Timberland had evenly spaced holes in it which reminded me of the Air pad that comes in the Nike Air Max.I normally wear a 10, but I put my Pinnacle insoles in a pair of 10.5 Tim's and tried them on with my wool sock and they were very comfortable! Two things about the Timberland's that I did not like. The style and they seemed awfully heavy. I bought them anyway. After I got home with them my wife helped me to see that a black boot would go better with my work uniform than the brown boot which I purchased.So I returned them to Sears and got my $143 back. I went online and found the Timberland's in black!But then something happened!I remembered when I was in high school and I saw a nice pair of Nike boot's and I wanted them. So I started googleing. Bam! I found the Nike ACG GOADOME and read all the reviews on Nike's site and here on Amazon. Then I ordered them.REVIEW!They just came in and I put in my Pinnacle Prostep insoles without removing the Nike insoles. I'm also wearing my wool socks. I immediately walked around and I can not believe how much better these boots compare to any other shoe I've ever worn. So comfortable I think I'll buy a few more to wear when I'm not working.I hope Nike never discontinues this boot!I'll try to add to this review in a month.... around Christmas and let you know how they are holding up.UPDATEWell after wearing these boots for the first few days my left ankle became sore because of the boot rubbing against it. I figured that I would have to break them in soI kept on wearing them and now they feel fine.As others have mentioned I find myself wearing these boots all the time now...because they are so comfortable. I need to order another pair for casual wear, or two!These are nice well fitting bootsMy husband received his in February and he Loves them!! He typically is pretty picky with his shoes, but he really likes them.Great Boot/shoe by Nike. My favorite but I actually bought this for a friend. My size is 13 but I still love this boot. This is my favorite book and I wear it all the timeGreat bootAges ago I found a pair of hiking boots made by Nike. They were on a clearance rack and felt good so I bought them. Wow! Compared to my other hikers and most shoes I had owned they were amazing! Soft, tough and absolutely no break in time. I could play soccer in them with my students or waterproof them to hit the mountain trails and they lasted years! Eventually I wore the tread right off. I still wish I could get them resoled! I wanted to replace them but could never find any hikers from Nike, until I found these. They are a little stiffer starting out than my old favorites, but my first day with them I went out with our scout group. We walked several miles with no blistering or hot spots. I was not used to shoes that went over my ankles anymore but these did not cause any issues there either. They were more than I usually spend for shoes, but if they will be anything like my old faves it will be worth it!Update 2-9-2017I have had these for well over two years now. I wear them nearly every day for work and have used them many times on family and scout backpacking trips. They are still watertight and as comfortable as ever. I have even come home from a desert trip, wiped them down and hit them with some black polish and they have served me to go to Sunday meetings. Right now, short of a few scuffs they look as good as the day I got them.These boots are comfortable. When you first get them the top of the boots around the ankle can be pretty rough if tied too tight before they get broken in. They add a good 1 to 2 inches to your height. I delivered in these boots for UPS during peak season 2015, they are comfortable, easy to move in, feet wont get tired as quickly or at all.don't step in any puddles or let snow melt on top of the boot by the laces. your feet will get wet.These lace all the way up, so you have to untie and retie the boots. not that big of a deal, but i was used to boots with either a) a zipper on the side or b) the hooks on the sides to where you can pull the tied laces out and just relace them that way. not sure what else to say.
