Great Combat Mountain Boot!

I have now had my Glacier's for a week here in Afghanistan. Outstanding boot! An average day is humping a 30 kilo ruck at altitude on rock, scree, ice, and snow. Then turning around and going south with 115F temps on near vertical shale. This boot has excellent ankle support and NO break-in time. I was amazed. Good boots mean life or death for me and my team—these boots perform.
My only suggestion is that I would like a lug sole option.
