COMMENTS: Have worn Corcoran jump boots as a soldier, police officer, and now as uniformed security. They take a great spit shine and look sharp with a uniform, also hold up well. I just retired my first pair (from 1969!)a few years ago when, after numerous re-heelings/re-soleings, they finally cracked through at a flex point. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the last 2 pairs I bought had leather on the toe cap that was a little "pebbley" (not quite smooth)that made it a little more time-consuming to build up a good smooth base for a first class spit shine. This is only a concern if you want to shine them up for uniform wear, and it can still be done, just takes a little more work.
BOTTOM LINE: recommended
