<p>As a Soldier, nothing is more important than taking care of your feet while in the field. I am looking for some good boots to invest in. Since the boot you wear depends on what terrain you will be in, I want to have a few options. The terrains I am interested in are: mountain/rocky, dessert/sand, and cold weather/snow/ice.</p><p> </p><p>
If you have found a pair of boots that has withstood any of those conditions above what you expected, please let me know!</p><p> </p><p>MORE IMPORTANTLY: If you owned a pair of boots that was TERRIBLE, let me know so I don't buy it.</p>

bates delta 9 and rocky c4t. The bates have a cushion in the back that you can rotate which is why i think they last so long.

Rocky S2V all the way. And if you're a civvie like me, swap out the laces with 550 cord (or find 550 cord that matches the boots).

Boots will fit different for different people, but I have always either had the 8" Oakley's or the issued Bellevilles. I just want to say though that I am a little disappointed that a fellow SFC wore boots for 7 years knowing that they were unauthorized just because "no one cared that we wore them".

I went through three units with CSMs that wore them, seniors that wore them, and Soldiers that wore them. Until recently they were made a big deal that we couldn't wear them. Honestly, I wish that boots were forgotten about and could be comfortable. Until I got to my current unit, no one ever said anything about it. I mean I wasn't sure when they first came out but when I asked, I got "they are fine" and I went with that. At the end of the day, boots don't make a Soldier.
