I have had a pair of Corcoran Jump Boots for years now, and they are some of the nicest I have seen.  Corcoran has been around since WWII, and the quality will not let you down.  I'm not sure about these, but based on the brand name, I'd say they're good to go.

They look like Magnums.  I wore Cocoran Jump boots when I was in. Very comfortable for what was available at the time.  For $29 with ground shipping this is a pretty nice deal.

While we are on the subject of Botach, I just order my set of Alta Knee and elbow pads for 28 shipped.  I know some of you were looking for a better pad, and this deal cannot be beat.

I havent bought a pair of boots in ages... how did the sizes of these boots match up to sneaker sizing?  Meaning, is a size 11 in sneakers a size 11 in these boots?

The short answer is YES.

When buying my WELLCO boots from Practical Tactical, I noticed that almost every pair of shoes I had was a different size.  My athletic shoes were 14-14.5, my sandals were 12, my hiking boots were 13, you get the idea.  

The thing that helped me was that all combat boots will be similarly sized, unless otherwise noted.  Go to a surplus store, and try on some Altamas or other boots, and see what fits.  Then go ahead and order that size.  In the slim chance they don't fit, most retailers have a return policy for ill-fitting footwear, just don't wear them outside.

These boots are still on sale.  Unfortunately for me they ran out of my size.  $29 with ground shipping is a hell of a deal people.
