Description
Being in the armed forces the types of regulation footwear are
usually at least eight inches in height, be made of tan rough side out
cattle hide leather with a plain toe and tan rubber out soles, and be
without any zippers or side tabs. The commercial version of these
boots are made without such restrictions.
There are also different types of boots for different situations.
The military has mountain combat boots for rough terrain, as well as
extreme cold weather boots. These are being phased out by the military
for a modular boot system available for multiple for all
environments.
ACU boots put heavily through traction in the armed forces, it's not
unheard of to hear about soldiers going through their boots in
two to five months of first donning them. However , one needs to
bear in mind soldiers pretty much live on their feet. For they're
prices vary from 50 dollars to 200 dollars depending on where you
end up buying them.
Most you'll end up running across is made for comfort, and well
vented. It's usually treated for all sorts of hazards, such as
water or fire damage. They also usually have durable lace up sides and
are lined in a way that'll hug the feet and the calves for extra
comfort.
If your not a soldier, I expect these types of boots will last you
awhile, since most people don't spent all day on their feet.
Depending on where you manage to find them, they can be a good value.
The features are also depend on what your looking for in a boot.
Obviously hikers will seek out water proof features more then fire
proof. All in all these types of boots were made to be comfortable and
fit well into any outdoors activity.
