Solid bootsThese 10R USMC RAT boots are legit, and way more comfortable than I expected right out of the box. The ankle support is real, no weird hot spots after eight hours of walking rough terrain. Only thing is they are pretty stiff until you work it in, ngl took me like three days before it loosened up enough to feel natural. My buddy wore the same model and said his broke in faster but I think that's just how these go. For genuine Marine Corps issue boots at this price I cant complain too much.

RAT Marine Corps bootsAmazing boots! Got the Gore-Tex version and they're NOT too warm for warmer weather! Heavy duty, and great fit! A little hard to get on / off at first due to the Gore-Tex bootie, but awesome everyday wear!
Waterproof, hard toe and heel, and durable
Hard to put on / take off for first week or so

Good Wellco Example Know What You're Getting vs. DannerFrom a collection standpoint these are interesting because the RAT contract was split between at least two manufacturers. Danner being the more commonly discussed and Wellco being the less glamorous but equally legit USMC-contract builder. My pair from Keepshooting is the flat-collar variant consistent with production runs from the late 2000s to early 2010s, and the leather anchor-and-globe toe and heel cap reinforcements are correctly rendered. The insole has contractor markings consistent with DLA footwear contracts of that era. Compared side-by-side with my 2006 pull-tab Danner temperate pair, the Wellco sole unit looks nearly identical both use the Vibram design but the upper leather on the Wellco is marginally thinner. The Gore-Tex sock on these is intact and uncompromised, which is actually my main concern with any NOS temperate RAT since the Danner Reddit community has documented the Gore-Tex sock separating from the footbed on some pairs after years of storage. These have none of that. Worth noting: the temperate version has no drain holes (unlike the hot weather RATs), so don't confuse them if you're in a truly wet environment you want the temperate, and if you want to drain water fast you want the hot weather version. A solid, authentic piece of late-GWOT era USMC footwear history.

Best work boot I've bought in yearsBought these for construction work after my last pair of Red Wings gave out. Size 10R fit true to my usual boot size. First thing you notice they're TIGHT to get on that first time. Like, really tight. But thats by design, theyre meant to stay locked on once youre laced up. After about a week of break-in, the nubuck softened up nicely and now theyre my go-to. The 1000D nylon upper takes abuse from rebar and concrete without tearing, and the Vibram-style lug pattern grips decent on wet surfaces. For the money? Cant beat it. Way better value than dropping $180 on civilian work boots.
True to size once broken in

Bought for my husband, he loves themGot these as a gift and he hasnt taken them off lol. Says there comfortable enough for long days on his feet. Only thing he mentioned was he swapped the insoles out pretty quick for some gel ones he already had.
Great price for the quality
Stock insoles are just okay
