Anybody use these or have any experience? Do they fit similar to their structural boots at all? Is sizing close to the structural boots? I recently purchased a pair of the Globe Shadow boots and have been so impressed I was thinking of picking up a pair of these boots while they're on closeout at most places. They're pretty expensive, but given how their other boots fit and perform I think it would be worth it.
Otherwise I'm considering giving the new 5.11 Company Boot 2.0's a shot.

Just because it's called a throw bag, doesn't mean you throw the whole bag... you're supposed to hold onto the rope.

Thanks for the replies, I couldn't find any locally and didn't want to get stuck with the wrong size and not being able to return a closeout item so I ordered the 5.11 Company 2.0 with a 20% coupon. They arrived today and so far after wearing them this evening they're great, light as hell and very comfortable. Time will tell how well they'll hold up, but at the moment I don't foresee any shortcomings. I'm on light duty for the next few weeks following a recent appendectomy so they won't be seeing too much use for another 3-4 weeks.

My brother had a pair of Haix and loved them, wore em out and decided to get the 5.11 boots cause he had some kind of deal on them as well, those boots didn't last him more than a few months before he ordered another pair of Haix. The 5.11's were literally falling apart.

I have both the Haix and the Globe Technical Series Boots. I wear the Haix in the summer since the Globe boots are insulated and I dont need my feet sweating any more than they already do. I have the Airpower R1 boot and they have held up quite well. I wear them every day and have beat the hell out of them. They were affordable and are really comfortable. Not sure they will be good in the cold weather as they are minimally insulated and it can get quite chilly up here standing in the snow.
