A question on boots, again.
Earlier in this note we talked about boots, using the Falklands
as a guide. Well what kind of boot is best for desert ops? I
see most US troops are wearing jungle boots, would a nylon SWAT
boot be better?
Comments please.
BTW. The last time I asked this question, I went out and bought
a pair of DANNER FT LEWIS boots. FYI they are very comfortable,
waterproof, and warm in cold weather. However, in warm weather your
feet start to sweat. I haven't tried them in hot weather ( >70 Deg).

Assuming you are in America, I suggest you look out a mail order supplier or otherwise carrying the Israeli Military Industries (sometimes called "Uzi brand") gear. They make what I consider to be the finest desert boot available today. /. Ian .\ | |||||

thanks for the info
I've heard some bad press about the jungle boots. It seems
the steel shank heats up and can become a real pain in the
foot 8^). Also the drainage holes tend to let sand in.
