What boots do you recommend for someone who is flat-footed and foresees a fair amount of time rucking and in the field?

If you’re at Benning for OCS and have a pass on the weekend go to the Below the Knee store and get your feet tested. I don’t think boot type matter for feet but you could at least get an insole that’s best for your foot. If you want something that’s light, sturdy and dries quick look at the Garmony T8s or the Belleville C320s both are good and both served me well at OCS in benning.

I love the Belleville C320s, I have bought two pairs in the past year, however cannot advise on the flat footed issue. I imagine I will buy a third pair in the next few months.

I have flat feet and the Belleville C320s are great, one of the best boots I have warn. First time in my Army career I will wear a boot with civilian clothing.

For the field, I’d recommend using the Rocky S2V. It has great support and they’re for sure, durable. The S2Vs are heavy, but will for sure keep your feet protected against the elements.
For rucking in general, go for the Garmont T8. They’re lightweight and provide great mobility for long distance ruck marches.
