5.11 Men's Evo 8" Side Zip Composite Safety Toe Boot - Military Tactical Work Boots for Construction, Hiking & Outdoor Activities

I ordered these in the same size I ordered my Evo boots with no safety toe, but they run a half size larger (I compared the sole of the CST boot with a regular Evo boot side by side). I will need to exchange these for a half size smaller.I liked these boots a lot, but one of them ripped from toe to heal after about 9 months of having themIf you like the fit of the 5.11 Tactical A.T.A.C. Shields do NOT buy these. These are extremely small even though I purchased the same size I always wear. The "Evo" run an entire inch smaller from front to back (on the legs, not the feet). I couldn't even try them on unless they were completely unlaced.
