subject: Combat Boots - Not Just For The Military [print this page] Without a good pair of Combat Boots, a soldier on active duty will not be able to perform at his or her best. The boots are just as important as the other gear a soldier needs. The ability to run, climb and walk for miles will stem from the fact that a soldier is wearing a pair of Combat Boots that are designed for this purpose. Proper footwear is one of the most important aspects of a soldier's life.
Let's face it-if your feet hurt, you feel it all over. That's precisely why Combat Boots are made from top quality materials. A soldier is only as good as the equipment he carries or wears. These boots have to be able to take the stress of life in the armed forces, and keep on going, day after day. A soldier spends all of his time on his feet, and the Combat Boots he wears have to be able to withstand rough terrain and extreme temperature changes, all the while keeping the feet comfortable.
Leather is the material used in the manufacture of Combat Boots because it is tough, durable, and will last for years. Most soldiers wear the same pair of boots for the whole time they are in the service, simply because once you get them broken in, your feet just don't feel as comfortable in anything else. Combat Boots can either be ankle high or mid-calf. The upper part of the boot will be leather, with other material sometimes being used for the foot. The sole is usually a combination of polyurethane and rubber, and different boots may have different combinations. It all depends on the kind of terrain the boot will be used for.
There are two basic types of Combat Boots made for soldiers in the army. One type is specifically made for hot weather, and the other for more normal conditions. Depending on where the soldier is deployed to will decide which type of Combat Boots will be issued. All boots however are made for specific areas of combat.
Combat Boots are not just for the people in the armed services anymore. Everyone wears them, young and old alike. Women wear them out in public as a fashion statement, Hollywood personalities wear them to any function they are attending if they so please, and no one thinks twice about it. Combat Boots have come off the field of duty, and made their way into the closet of many Americans. They are comfortable, affordable, easy to care for, and they actually look good on everyone!
