The shoes are very comfortable and definitely worth recommending, big plus for the sturdy zip. I've been using them for two years in various weather conditions and they have never let me down. My rating: 5/5.

The shoes are very good and comfortable but their durability leaves something to be desired. After a year of use (about 300-400 km), the seams came apart, which probably wasn't my fault. Luckily, I got a new pair, so we'll see how long these last.
-
The shoes are solid and very well made. I tested them in various weather conditions and they performed perfectly. They look better in real life than in the photos. For this price, a very durable choice – I recommend them.
-
After five years, the shoes are still used in light mud and snow. Now I treat them as work boots, but for the price, they're well made, and regular care extends their lifespan. The zip is extremely practical. My rating: 5 out of 5.

Delta 8 ZIP are the best-looking tactical boots I've had. They're extremely light and comfortable, although it took around two weeks to break them in. After a year and a half, the heels wore out, and the gel heel pieces broke. I contacted the distributor but didn't get any help, so I fixed them myself. I added special insoles for heel problems. Now they're even more comfortable than at the start, and I hope they'll last me a few more years.

After less than a month of use I am very satisfied! The shoes are incredibly comfortable, although at first they had to adjust to my foot. The option to adjust the firmness of the insole is a great feature that allows you to tailor the footwear to the terrain. We'll see how long they last, but for now I'm full of optimism. I recommend them!
-
The sizing is specific – the shoes in my size are good in width but a bit too long, while a size smaller is right for length but too tight. They work well with double socks. On a longer mountain route, the insole delaminated, but it doesn't negatively affect comfort, just needs some adjustment each time. I noticed small gaps between the leather and the sole. Other than that, the shoes are very comfortable and the trip went without blisters. Ventilation is sufficient, the leather regained its shape after cleaning. The zip is very convenient. In conclusion – comfort five stars, quality four stars. I'll see how they hold up over longer use.
-
This zip is a brilliant solution! The shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and great for any service. I definitely recommend them.
-
The shoes are exceptionally comfortable and very well made, suitable for everyday use. The insole is interesting and works well, although the adjustment range is slightly exaggerated. The zip makes them much easier to put on – after such shoes you no longer want to buy lace-up models only. I give them 5 out of 5, and I've worn many tactical boots before.
-
These shoes are outstanding. I like them very much; they're great in the mountains or rough terrain. The sole is non-slip. Comfortable, waterproof. The only downside – they're a bit too warm for summer, but perfect for autumn and spring.
-
The shoes are very comfortable, I ordered size 39 (I usually wear 38-39) and they're just a little bigger – the size is perfect. I recommend them, 10 out of 10!
-
After three months of use, I think these shoes are great – they're light and have a very practical zip. I recommend them.
-
The shoes are fine.
-
The shoes are exceptionally comfortable and well-made, perfect for everyday use. The insole is interesting, though the described adjustment ranges are a bit exaggerated, but it is comfortable. The zip makes putting them on much easier, and after buying such shoes, you don’t want to go back to only laced ones. Definitely 5 out of 5, and I’ve already tested quite a few tactical boots.
-
Extremely comfortable and lightweight shoes, and the side zip is a great solution.
