I got the Belleville's steel toe boots issued to me and they are really good. Vibram soles on them...
That 'normal' boot has been replaced by something worse.AmmoTech90 said:Second that,
Belleville steeltoe desert boots are head and shoulders above the normal desert boot (or at least the normal desert boots I got in 2000 and 2004).

This is the other issue with boots... They're a very personal thing, like any other operational gear. Some people like the SWATs, some Danners, or Oakleys, and even the new kid on the block; Converse (I'm trying to find a link).. Either way, I think the military should just give troops a 'kit allowance' and have them (us) order boots through clothing stores. Then they can control types and models without letting troops get silly with makes.Bergeron 971 said:SWATs I'm not a fan of, like running shoes,
Personally, I'm a Danner fan.

Just an Idea... but I'm really not paid to think...

It looks like someone is listening...

SWAT's are a good off the shelf substitute, but and this is a BUT if you have the time and money Converse (yes the running shoe people) make an incredible desert combat boot, I swear by mine and I have SWAT's too
