Yeah 511 is a military/police contractor, so expect American contractor quality lol. I would look for outdoors companies if you want durability, perhaps with origins in areas where people actually do heavy outdoor activities (Didriksons is Swedish for example). A lot of military equipment take inspiration from extreme sports gear since those people are likely using the gear more than soldiers, and in the past few years sports gear and techwear have been taking inspiration from each other.
So many companies have been bought out and switched to lower quality materials over the last few decades. : p it's hard to even tell who still makes good boots these days.
there are some indie studios that make some decent stuff, but they tend to be very expensive and have nonexistent customer service lol
