Hopefully a little more fire-proof too. ;)

Hahaha! No doubt!

Do the SFB's really feel cheap?
All things considered, they're pretty inexpensive, but I hate the feel of the cheap RG's. Besides, I go through those fast.

I wish they made the SFB in a lower high top instead of the shoe-style.

I don't consider them cheap. Also, 8 inch boots are the norm for all of them.

I suppose if you really hated the high top, you could easily cut and re-lace the boot.

They're actually lighter than my Running Nikes.

Unless you are fast roping out of a Blackhawk, I see no reason not to get them.

TL;DR: GET THEM OR FOREVER BE SADDENED BY NON-LIGHTWEIGHT AMAZING BOOTS!

Call the surgeons and tell them to take the day off, because I'll be doing all the operating now.

Danner boots rock in my book. Course, I play on rocky, rattler infested fields, so I want something solid on my feet.

Nike SFB for daily wear, and for wear in most airsoft conditions.

Danner Ft. Lewis for torrential daily wear, or snow, or really rough conditions.

Alright.

BOOTS WILL BE NIKE SFB's.
That's enough of that :)

Now, running shoes.

Yes they do and is currently available online at niketown.com. AONW has them but I am not sure on the size. Rick said BWTA is getting them so they might carry that size too.
