We have about a dozen boots we can wear in the Army, I believe the rest of forces have to choose from fewer than four, and the Marine Corps even less.

I sure miss the jungle boots. I prefer a Danner mil - spec boot, Danner Recon, or Danner Acadia specifically.

Did you have a favorite boot that you wore in uniform?

Recently, at ALC, there were many Sgt and SSgt's wearing unauthorized boots to an Army school. I couldn't believe they didn't send them home nor make them rectify the situation. So let me rephrase the question: Which are your favorite authorized military boots; and favorite non-authorized boots?

I have seen AF troops wearing tanker boots. Would make the Army guys on Dix insane. That and everyone wearing jump boots.

On the plus side, one would never have to worry about strings hanging out.

I would not recommend anyone buying boots right now until after the uniform changes start to happen. Unless you wear through them quickly

As far as I know for the AF (per the AFI) there is no list of authorized boots outside of "safe to fly" boots. So we have hundreds of options as long as they are baby...I mean sage green.

Danner makes an awesome AF boot. Sage green, how common is that color?

The AF is the only ones using it that I know of, but enough AF have to buy there own boots to have a pretty decent market.

We were issued the Danners. They are excellent boots. Someone got the color scheme wrong though. They should be a tan color, and mine are this odd light green color.
