A couple months ago I was cgallenged by a SSG on boot regulation. He had a couple soldiers who were wearing boots that are not in regulation. My question is, how are boots measured? I can only find the measurement for the outsole in the DA PAM 670-1 on directions for measurement. Common sense would tell me its from the ground to the top of the boot, but I want to make sure its not from the heel pocket to the top of the boot.

Good question SGT Samples, the regulation says that if you use commercial boots they have to be between 8-10 inches in height and the sole cannot exceed 2 inches in height.
In an unrelated matter, what happened to addressing Soldiers by their rank and not by their pay grade. I would be very upset if someone says I was talking to E7 Dominguez

DA PAM 670-1 Chapter 20-3
(a) ... The boots must be between 8 to 10 inches in height and made of tan flesh-side out cattlehide leather, with a plain toe and a soling system matching the color of the tan upper materials. ... The soling materials will not exceed 2 inches in height, when measured from the bottom of the outsole, and will not extend up the back of the heel or boot or over the top of the toe.
So as it is clearly stated, the boot, when measured from the ground to the top of the boot must be at least 8" in height and will not exceed 10" in height. The sole of the boot will not exceed two inches in height.

This applies to non-issued optional boots. Any boots currently being issued are appropriate for wear....though I would suspect they are within the guidelines....but you should always check..

That's the way I comprehended it as well. we have a growing trend of the 6" Under Armour boots in my unit. I just want my facts solid before I address it again.

Usually measure from the where the leather meets the top of the sole to the top of the boot.
