Pound for pound the best boot i have had.

All the dog handlers at my place use them now and they are out in all weathers.

Myself, i now opt for the Gucci Nike AGC Combat Boot WHICH WOULD BE CRAP UP A MOUNTAIN BUT FOR MY LINE OF WORK NOW ARE THE DOGS.........Oops bloody caps lock...sorry!

It must seem years ago that if wore anything except what was issued you would be thrown in the pokey

That is also my question and in any case, arn't you supposed to wear what is issued to you.

It is after all a Uniform, as in uniformity.

I guess things have changed.

Commodore, Tab, of course things have changed, same as everything else in the world. There are hundreds of commercial companies competing with each other to make boots and other military kit that makes the soldier's life a bit more comfortable. Why shouldn't a soldier who is keen enough want to spend his money on a pair of boots or whatever that are going to be more comfortable and possible help prevent injury when tabbing etc? Obviously the issue boots are cheaply made, same as a lot of the issue kit.

Mainly that's like less than 'all' right? What has my life got to do with you? Please maintain a civil approach towards me since i dislike people who haven't got the maturity to solve any issue without resulting in conflicting behaviour, if you have nothing to say it would be best for all if you said nothing at all.
