"Due to the nature of their line of work, Soldiers care about boots and the US Army has come a long way over the past two decades to offer a wider variety of mission-oriented footwear. We thought it would be interesting to share a few slides from a deck shared recently with industry by PEO Soldier's PM for Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment. They offer an overview as well as information on the Jungle and Mountaineering Boot efforts as well as the Cold Weather Overboot which has unfortunately been in development hell, in one form or another, since at least the 90s. Please note that photos of footwear in the developmental slides do not necessarily depict the items which have been selected by the Army, but are rather, representational candidates."

Better than having to "spit shine" everything … even the my favorite, Jungle boots, had leather below the nylon uppers …  |

Maybe so, Legion 4 But my old "MacNamara" boots sure were comfortable. Would love to still be able to find a pair. Know its kinda weird, but I never really minded the hours spent spit shining them. Nice relaxing mindless endeavor and they looked like black glass afterward. Of course, the jungle boots werent bad either. |
