Someone said you can't wear them because they don't have Vibram soles. Can anyone else verify this?

I follow that too. It's never a good idea to listen to the barracks lawyer

Any deviation from issued gear must be approved by your COC, our experiences do not matter in this case. Thank you for your service.

Just to clarify, I'm not asking if the boots are unauthorized to wear on post. As far as I can tell, they're AR-670-1 approved. I just was told they weren't allowed to be worn for a combat deployment. I know they're at least okay to wear on post in my company considering that my 1SG and several other NCOs wear them
