“My operator days are over, but I could imagine it would also be good for descending a fast rope and do not want to burn up the sides of your boots. The laces run through eyelets that allow you to cinch up the boot better as needed without cutting through the laces. The whole idea behind this boot is to build on the success of the Zephyr military boot. Feedback from Special Forces and law enforcement is that feature would give more stability.”

“Comparison to the Elite Desert and Zephyr – The 6S is supposed to offer trekking-like boot support (like the Elite Desert) but with a lighter upper. I’d say that it’s exactly that. The 6S is definitely stiffer than the Zephyr, as it has the full-length shank vs. a 3/4 shank. The Zephyr sole is quite flexible, being more like a light hiker suitable for running with lighter loads, as the design of the outsole and 3/4-length shank allowing flex at the ball of the foot produces a more natural heel-toe roll of the foot than boots with a stiffer, blocky sole. The 6S isn’t quite as flexible as the Zephyr, and also has more torsional stiffness, making it more suitable for trekking with a medium load. The 6S upper also utilizes more complete leather coverage, with less use of fabric, making it more supportive and less flexible than the Zephyrs.”

“the Z-6S GTX (GTX stands for GORE-TEX) is unbelievably comfortable, true to size (while wearing a lightweight hiking sock) and while I’ve been wearing the hikers for only a few months, by all accounts it appears they’ll be at least as durable as all of my other LOWAs, which is to say, nearly bullet-proof.”
