What Customers Say About Garmont T8 Falcon Coyote Boots
Whether you’re rucking 20 miles, with 50+ lbs. of gear strapped to your back or kickin’ it on desk duty, the unique Falcon support system will keep you moving toward your goals.
But don’t take our word for it. Just listen to what our customers are saying about these Garmont boots:
" I’ve been wearing Garmont T8’s for the last 7 years as my duty boots. I have trudged through deserts, swamps, mountains, and selection. I never put my uniform on without these boots. I was asked to try the new Garmont’s, and I was a bit skeptical. They didn’t look as rugged as the T8’s. These boots are outstanding. They feel light like running shoes, while tough like the Garmont T8’s. The sole is firm while still comfortable. Currently I am on the trail turning civilians in to infantrymen. I pack the miles on my feet. These boots are saving my feet due to their light weight. I would highly recommend these to anyone." - Jeremy, Drill Instructor
" These boots were comfortable right out of the box. As a ten year Special Operations veteran, I have gone through a ton of boots and have needed boots for many different situations. These are well made, versatile, have good traction, and are very breathable. They were supportive enough for a weighted, cross terrain movement but comfortable enough for a long day on the range or in the shoot house. Overall, I'm very happy with these boots and would absolutely recommend them." - Derek, SF Team Leader
" My initial impression: wow! These boots were comfortable right out of the box. I wear them both in garrison and when I go to the field. They're not the lightest boot (not the heaviest either) but provide the best ankle support out of any boot I have tried. They are well made, have great traction, and are very breathable. Wore them on an 8-mile ruck 3 days after receiving them, not one hot spot at all, and they form great to my feet. The laces are great and so is the padding. My biggest CON to this boot is the tongue design. It is a little bulky and takes some getting used to, but you don’t even notice it after a few days of wearing them. All around, an amazing boot. They feel great, breathe great, and don't leave my feet aching when I'm wearing them." - Thomas, ROTC Instructor
