I can't believe it but I'm staring right at it. I have the Core2 shoes and use them for IDPA/2gun. I put them on, and they didn't feel especially special. But at the end of being on my feet all day - on gravel - at a match outside, my knees, feet, and back didn't hurt!! I was kinda stunned. I now have 4 pairs of different Viktos shoes. They are pretty freaking amazing. I wear a size 11 in their shoe. My normal size is 10.5 wide. You are right about the toebox. I also have gloves and of course a bunch of Tshirts & hats. Their stuff just works. I didn't plan on becoming a fanboy, but here I am. LOL.
@robc5082 my two pair didn't last half the summer. Tongue ripped out on one and sole glue was coming off and the other pair two eyelits broke and again the sole flopped off the front and had to repair with shoe goo a few times
@@chaoticcaninejb man that sucks! Sorry to hear that. Did you reach out to them? My stuff has all been solid. I did notice that the Core pair of shoes I had wasn't as good as the Core2 pairs I bought since. I dunno what to tell you. YMMV I guess...
I bought a pair of GSG 9.7's somewhat expensive, very comfortable, very flexible, but fell apart with constant use during a period of two years, basically the closest thing you can get to a hybrid of high performance athletic shoe and a combat boot. I replaced them with a pair of Viktos "Johnny Combat" waterproof boots, and they're amazing, not as flexible as GSG 9.7s, but I have had them now with steady walking use for more than two years and they make an exemplary all-weather boot. I wear them in the winter, wear them in rain, wear them in all conditions, my feet stay dry and protected. They're also tough, my GSG 9.7s were very prone to scuffing and falling apart with heavy use, the Jonnny Combat boots have taken a beating and have held up to my expectations. Also if you have wider feet, the Johnny Combat boots are far more accommodating as compared to the more narrow toe box of the GSG 9.7s.
@robc5082 I purchased 3 pair of shoes and some t shirts from them and gifted pants, shirts and other items, quite a bit actually. I like the company, however the clothing isn't tactical as it nearly lasts in my experience. Buttons break easily and sewing is terrible and it frays and falls apart very quickly. The shoes, well I can't even begin to start as they were very subpar. A couple of their bags have been ok and T shirts fit good and are t shirts. I just wish their sewing and actually craftsmanship was better.
@ryangriffith1500 I even heard from two separate of their sponsored guys to watch what I buy or use as it doesn't last. It's more lifestyle or looks clothing then work or so called tactical clothing. In my experiences with their stuff, they made very accurate assessments
