So I was issued a few pairs of these boots through RFI but was recently told they are not authorized for garrison use due to the fact that the sole wraps around the heel and toes. Now to me I dont think that I would count that material as the sole of the shoe but that's just me. I mainly just found it odd that they would issue non authorized boots so I wanted get your opinions on if they were actually not authorized

The boots are designed for more aggressive terrain and not necessary in Garrison. They can be worn in a field training environment. Also, you receive a clothing allowance, if you wear out these issues boots CIF replaces them for. Operational budget, when you wear out boots through days to day routine it is your responsibility to replace based on that clothing allowance. I mention this so that you can see the broader spectrum. Thank you for your service.

Too many options, go back to the generic black leather boots and spit shine them every night then cry .

I know I've been out for awhile, but are there no standards any more... just use what the fuck your told to use... or please tell me to shut the fuck up because this is the new Army and I don't know what I'm talking.... either way I see no standards or discipline. I see confusion not good.

Those boots are garbage anyways. I’ve been issued them twice and both blew out fairly quickly.
