Customer Reviews adidas GSG-9.2

I work as a first responder and these are a great pair of boots for the job. They feel more like Adidas sneakers than boots, so after having them on for 30+ straight your feet still aren't tired. The only downside is they are harder to get on in a hurry than boots with a zipper down the side, but the added comfort more than makes up for that. If you are on your feet for long periods or need a tough boot these are a great choice.

This is the boot to buy - GSG9-2 is a great boot, really comfortable, makes you look taller and in serious control of your body movement. I really feel confident walking wherever I want while wearing this boot, knowing that I won't slip on ice neither my legs would get wet. Yet it looks really nice sporty and classy at the same time. I've been buying timberlands boots for 6 years now but I felt like I need something new this time and GSG9-2 had a lot to offer. Honestly at first I felt weird wearing it (cuz I was used to timberland) but within a week I got used to it and this boot being extremely comfortable would force you to wear it. The size felt half size larger than marked but it wasn't a problem for me, in case I wear thick socks it feels like the size I needed. Highly recommended

Awesome boot! I bought these boots a couple of months before a trip to the Rocky Mountains and some hiking in fairly rugged terrain. They were as comfortable as a running shoe and the soles gripped the rocks like glue. No issues in snow, water, or mud either. I'm very happy with these boots.

Great Boots! These have to be, hands down, the most comfortable pair of work boots I've ever owned, not to mention the best looking!

Cool and tough boot - I got this boot to wear when riding my motorcycle and also be able to wear off the bike. I liked the athletic shoe/military boot styling which was not too gung-ho for my taste. The fit is really good and the lacing allows for a good fit without making it too much of a chore to take on or off. Firm ankle support.

Well worth the price - I've owned at least two pairs of Adidas GSG-9 since their first introduction to the United States Navy, more than a decade ago. I would not and have not been without them. They are very light in weight, but amazingly sturdy in construction. They can take on the sharp rocks of icy mountainous regions and the searing heat of desert with equal durability. (Note: I recommend one size larger and very thick socks for either extreme). In urban environments they perform better than any other combat boot I've worn...bar none. The break-in of the original GSG-9 (Version 1) was a bit lengthy (three weeks) and resulted in the formation of a callous on the top of the feet, due to tightness of the mid-point lacing structures. The new Version 2 seems to have eliminated this minor flaw. They break-in more quickly (a few days of regular wear) and with greater comfort. Moreover, the new soles are a marked improvement over the original soccer-style soles in rugged terrain environments. (Note: in terms of wear-resistance, the new soles offer significantly greater capabilities than their predecessors...sole-wear being the biggest weakness of the original GSG-9 boots). With the original GSG-9s I was able to get over three years of constant-wear, combined rugged and urban environments, before even having to consider replacing them. Even at that point, the only reason to replace one of these amazingly durable elements of footwear was the soles; the uppers remained in great condition with regular maintenance. My GSG-9 Version 2 is a wonderful improvement on an already great product. As I've told many operators, "If I could have only one combat boot for all ops, it would be the GSG-9".

Adidas boots - These boots are extremely comfortable and feel more like a tennis shoe than a boot. I was happy with the quality and comfort as well as the looks of the boot; however, if you are looking for a boot that is polishable then another brand might be better. As a tactical boot I would recommend this brand.

ADIDAS GSG-9.2 - The boots are great. Did not take long to break them in. The only problem I had was I wish I had a wider size. The boots are very snug. I am satisfied though and would highly recommend them for anyone in law enforcement.

Adidas GSG 9.2 - Lightweight and so far impervious to water, slush, and snow. I work for the Department of Correction and I'm on my feet most of the day. They've been very comfortable out of the box. I'll look forward to more hours in them and how durable they show themselves to be.

These boots are VERY comfortable! They are lighter than other boots I looked at, and have great support. And they look great! I bought them for a photography trip to the Olympic Peninsula. I walked through mud and water all weekend, and my feet stayed dry and warm the entire time. They are so comfortable and look so good, that I have been wearing them to work!

These are great tactical boots. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone working in law enforcement or on any type of tactical entry team. These boots fit like athletic shoes. There is no bulk, lightweight great treads. Like all Adidas (for me) they are narrow. Other than that, awesome boots that are well worth the price. The leather upper is very lightweight, so not very abrasion resistant. They are very comfortable boots. I love them.

I'm a female officer and I absolutely love these boots! They fit like tennis shoes, no complaints here. I love them so much I got some for my boyfriend who is also an officer and he loves them! Great boots and even greater customer service from the Zappos team!

Very comfortable boot. The arch support isn't great, but if you add an after market one its perfect. I agree with most others, if this is a sustained deployment situation, you may want a stiffer boot. For duty though, its excellent.

These boots are amazing. I had been considering them for quite a while but tried out a bunch of other cop style boots first. I could have saved so much money if I had gotten these first. They are the greatest boots I have ever owned hands down. They are ultra-light and durable, incredibly comfortable and waterproof! They are very slip resistant on smooth surfaces despite the hiker style lugs. I was not sure about the look of them for a long time. Now it has really grown on me.

This is the only work boot that my husband will wear. He has had 3 generations of the GSG-9's and will stay loyal. His only wish is they make them in a tan also. He loves them because he can be highly maneuverable and comfortable in all situations. Super thumbs up to Zappos superb customer service and they got it to us in less than 24 hours!

I recently received my Adidas GSG 9.2's and they look and feel great. The overall Zappos shopping experience was even better than what I expected. Thanks.

Holly cow, this boot is amazing...I have a pair of entry level bates boots that are nice, but I wanted something better. So I bought 5.11 tacticals best boot, and they were horrible. Very heavy. Didn't fit well and just flat out killed my feet. I was about to go up the ladder and get a better set of Bates when I found these. And they are perfect. They actually fit like a sneaker and so far have been waterproof and pretty breathable. Keep making these Adidas.

They fit like a Adidas running shoe, by far the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. They are actually more comfortable then most shoes I have worn. The sole is very soft, resulting in more grip then you will know what to do with. The boot does leave black streaks fairly easily though due to the sole being so soft. Best boot I've ever worn. Sizing is the same as Adidas shoes.

These are the best boots ever made. They are extremely comfortable, have great traction and are very durable. I'm going to buy another pair for when the pair I just bought wear out they are so good.

Great boots. Very light weight and sturdy. Although I own several pairs of similar type of boots these are different in that there is more arch support. True that the laces are slow to do up but I also don't fully undo them afterward. If they were waterproof that would make them ultimate but they are still great. For a great street and off-road boot this one is a prime candidate.

Great looking boots, but narrow and runs at least a 1/2 size small.

I had been wearing a pair of the original made-in-germany GSG9's for 5 years and I ordered these as a replacement/upgrade. The originals had two big problems: the sole wore down really fast and they were slippery on some wet surfaces. The 9.2 version don't suffer from either of those issues and they improve on the original with proper waterproofing, better ankle support and tougher materials and construction. The closest I can come to a negative comment is that like their predecessors they don't use speed-laces so they can be a bit slow to lace up in the morning. They are also quite warm, even in 20 degree weather I only needed a light pair of socks, so they are not ideal for hot environments but they're great for mud and snow and rain.

If you have a large narrow foot this is your boot. I wear a 14 B and good luck trying to find a boot that is not a D or fatter in this size. I guess "they" think that if you wear a 14 then your foot must be 14 wide also. These boots are very comfortable and flexible. I have had several foot chases for a few blocks and running in these boots is the same as your regular running shoes. Very comfortable. Running in "Magnums", forget it! Like trying to run with clown shoes on. The Adidas are great! Gave a 4 for style because of no zip side.

I have worn boots like this for going on 30 years and I have to say this is the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. No break-in period like my other pairs; they were soft enough to walk all day in, but have the support and protection you'd look for in a boot. The tread pattern is very similar to the Adidas trail runners so they are very good in slick conditions and snow. I typically wear an exact 12 in Adidas and I ordered this size; they fit like a glove. The only thing I would add to these would be a pull loop on the top-back to help with pulling them on, but besides that I couldn't be more positive about them. Excellent. And price-wise they stack up against military boots that are much more expensive so they are an excellent value for the price. On top of this I received them in less than 24 hours from Zappos which is pretty amazing.

First of all, I live in Europe and it's not the area where Zappos ships to, but I have to say customer service was very helpful so I could easily organize getting 2 pairs to me and my brother, who is at the special forces in the army. I got the shoes within 10 days (from the date of order to EU!). Thanks a lot Zappos.com! GSG9.2 looks very nice, very comfortable. Inside it's soft sports shoes, outside military boots. I took part in a 3 days surviving contest and had no problems at all with climbing rocks, keeping my feet warm without getting wet and taking part a hill-up run contest (won it). Arch and ankle support is very good, sole is flexible enough, thus boots are really all-rounders. I can say only one word as my opinion: perfect! My brother is loading his pair heavily day by day at the army with trainings and GSG9.2 helped him a lot, his test results became much better as these boots are pretty light so all physical activities are easier this way. My experience after the surviving contest that 3 days in a forest in wet conditions require to use some kind of impregnation to improve dryness. Although the boots are marked as wet-proof, it is needed at the Gore-Tex areas. I would say it's wet proof 90-95%, but to have 100%; spray it! The only thing that needs to be kept in mind: Adidas makes narrow shoes. My feet are narrow so they are perfect for me, but anyone with a wider foot can feel them a bit tight.
