Yeah, i was gonna say i'm not a fan of 5.11. Do they have goodyear welts on the soles? You might be able to get them re-soled with vibram outsoles. Idk how much it cost me last time but i want to say likw ~70$ at a shoe repair shop.
Do they even make goodyear military boots? From google search it looks like there are fashion oriented boots in the style of combat boots, but not actual combat/law enforcement shoes with goodyear welts.
Dunno, i haven't worn 5.11 in years. My last pair of combat boots were some corcorans i picked up ~10 years and 2-3 sets of soles ago. And then ~5 years ago i finally let myself be convinced that "ankle support" isn't real and got some light weight hybrid trail running shoes and never looked back.

Eh I have a pair of used Doc Martens I’m attempting to break in. I’ll miss the side zipper though.
