Anyone have any experience with 5.11 XPRT tactical boots?

Looking for a general purpose boot. Something a little more rugged, durable than Converse, which looks like a high top sneaker, and something a little more lightweight and comfortable than a typical combat boot like a Belleville DES ST. Thought these 5.11’s might be a decent compromise. I’ve never tried either of the others I just mentioned, only going off web photos so if I’ve misjudged either feel free to let me know.

They’d get used for everything from weekend hiking, to cutting firewood, to going to Wal-Mart for groceries. Found some on clearance which puts them in my price range and thought I’d see if anyone here that had used them before had a strong opinion for or against.

Was also going to purchase these, found them 1/2 price at la police gear

Waiting to hear opinions. Not sure of ruggedness factor, but they seem to be a good solid boot
