I used to wear Nikes around the office because they were the most comfortable, but many boot makers are now making boots they feel like tennis shoes. The Nikes also weren't super durable. I wore Oakleys in AFG, but I was mostly a fobbit. They held up pretty good and were comfy. Now I cycle between Rocky's. So far they have been great, but I'm not sure how well they would handle in the "elements".Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 26 at 2017 3:32 PM2017-06-26T15:32:06-04:002017-06-26T15:32:06-04:00Sgt William Biggs2680707<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would go either Danner or Oakley. I love both for different reasons. Danner's are tough and have great stability. The Oakley's breathe better and are lighter. For me, it would probably be the Danner boots.Response by Sgt William Biggs made Jun 26 at 2017 3:32 PM2017-06-26T15:32:45-04:002017-06-26T15:32:45-04:00MSgt Jason McClish2681165<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>None. I'll go through normal logistics/supply channels, as the military should be issuing all deployment gear, including footwear.Response by MSgt Jason McClish made Jun 26 at 2017 7:17 PM2017-06-26T19:17:48-04:002017-06-26T19:17:48-04:00SN Greg Wright2681632<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Redwings.Response by SN Greg Wright made Jun 27 at 2017 12:06 AM2017-06-27T00:06:16-04:002017-06-27T00:06:16-04:00Maj John Bell2681669<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You wear the service issue, end of discussion. If you are a unit leader and you are wearing something better than service issue, you cannot relate to your subordinates who would not have a choice other than service issue.Response by Maj John Bell made Jun 27 at 2017 12:58 AM2017-06-27T00:58:56-04:002017-06-27T00:58:56-04:00SGT Joseph Gunderson2681937<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Rocky's are my shit.
