Freaking Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I'm an 11B and I have had these boots for about 9 months so far. They are by far, the greatest, most lightweight, pair of boots I have ever owned. I have done several ruck marches with these boots and have worn them to the field countless times. I am about to buy a second pair of these and make my old ones my permanent field boot. They are so lightweight and comfortable. Easy to clean, just throw them in the washing machine. The only downside, I wish they were available to buy in more places.

Listen Up
BLUF! This boot is awesome.. Its the lightest I've ever seen and they provide a ton of support where you need it. Plenty of ventilation going on inside the boot also. The only thing you need to be aware of is the sizing is off by half a size. I normally were a 11 to 11.5 depending on make. I originally ordered a 11.5 and my toes were touching the end of the boots. Exchanged them for a 12 and have been steppin it out since. I have had more expensive boots in the past but none of them come close to this one. When it comes to Comfort, Weight, Support, Traction, Style, this boots are some Bad Mike Foxtrots

Fresh out of the box, Great boot.
Well I just got them today and right out of the box they're super comfortable and lighter than my running shoes. The sole is a softer rubber than other boots I've owned, so I don't know how long it will last with normal 11B wear and tear. They breath very well. As soon as I put them on I could feel air flow. Design is nothing flashy like some of these other next gen boots I've seen.
I'm going with a 5.0 rating for now.
I haven't seen any long term reviews on these boots, so I'll try and leave another review in a month after a couple of road marches and field time.

This boot wins... hands down!
I've had this boot for a few weeks now, bought it for an upcoming deployment to A-Stan. At first glance and feel even the material looks like some sort of fake, low quality, B.S., however this is not so. This is a rock solid boot and I have no problem with it. Heck, I didn't even have to break these bad boys! I just took out the little insole they come with, put my old ones in and was ready to rock! Hammer out, 13Fox all the way!

Desertlite in Iraq
I purchased the desertlite a month before I left for Iraq. These boots are awesome! Extrememley light as OTB says. Very good boots for any mission. Great ankle support all around good boot. Only issue is that the toe of the boot where it is glued is coming off. If OTB would have stitched closer to the top of the top would have prevented this. Already ordered a second pair. 11 Bang Bang

OTB 8 INCH DesertLite Boots
I purchased these boots last month from the U.S. Cavalry store outside of Fort Campbell. These boots are extremely light, and comfortable. I have tried several different boots over the years. These boots are among some of the best for dismounted combat operations, and ruck marches. A must for the infantryman, or cav scout!
