Post; Boots


OK...Here is the thing, I have flat feet. I also have very bad pain in my feet when i wear combat boots. I had the Israeli combat boots and had terrible pain for most of my service, untill i got some custom soles. Now im on reserve i dont have to wear standart issue boots(well technically i do, but i can get away with it). Do you guys know any very good combat boots that will go easy on a crippled lazy tanker like my self?

Black or desert tan? The Bates 922s (black) are fantastic, but they're not cheap. I'm not sure if they make one in tan.

Insoles have always made any boots I wore comfortable.

yes thats true, but my pair of boots is well worn, i havent replaced it in 3 year of service. I had two pairs of what we call "Light Boots". They are meant for infantery(or at least were when i joined), but i got them anyways. Than i transfered to armor and they couldent replace them for me cause they only had "Heavy Boots". I gave one pair to a friend and took his heavies, so when i was discharged and i had to give 1 pair back i gave the heavies. Now all i have is one pair of light boots that i wor for 3 years straight, and they are litterally falling apart. Oh, i have a pair of canadian winter boots, but those are hardly suiteable here most year round

If their for the field, I've always liked the Danner's or Cocharan Field boots. Failing that I like Jungles but you need insoles.
