Old boots
Yes, I wore the same pair of boots for just over 3 years before they started 'crumbling' from the sole. They were Bates 922 edition, same that SEAL trainees wear, great for running too, and super comfortable, especially when I had to put chases on foot. I still miss them.

Anyone beat my record? I'll give you a thumbs up!

I wish I had grandpa's jump boots! I rotated them quite a bit so I'm not too sure. At least 2 years.....probably more.

Still my jumps from airborne in 89' still have a spit shine on them too.

I'm wearing the same winter boots from my first Afghan tour in '08. I will never wear a non winter boot again.

I wore a pair of cheap black combat boots bought from the surplus store (because I likes the green canvas fabric and lightweight feel of the boot) until the sole literally came off...from the front, lol
