I am not military or in any special forces, but I like to work outdoors, do outdoors stuff like hiking and rock climbing, and occasionally paintball. That’s all I clarified with my boss…

What Military Boots Should I Wear?

So that leaves the question of what boots you should get. The truth is that there are many different types of boots on the market these days, which makes narrowing down your choices even more complicated. “So many options!” you might say.

To help clarify things a little bit, let’s take a look at four different categories of men’s combat boots in order to find out which one would best suit your needs.

For military personnel, a lot goes into planning footwear for a long workday. You have to take so many factors into consideration: How much time will you spend on the road, in combat situations, marching, etc.? Which type of weather will you be exposed to? In what type of environment will you be deployed?

Here are the top 8 best military boots that’ll last you a good while no matter work objective.

[boots]: OTB Boots’ Endurance 500 — These lightweight boots are made from water-repellent canvas and rubber soles. They provide a comfortable fit and offer excellent durability.

[boots]: Rocky Men’s onyx Armor-Kilt Hi — This boot is made from leather and designed with a steel shank reinforcement. This will provide great stability when you’re in motion and also provides water protection.

I know this is a weird question but I’m really wondering what military boots would be the best to wear to work with LVL 4 body armor and full gear?

I currently work a 16-hour shift wearing LVL 4 body armor and full gear. I wear boots that are Google, ranger green level 4 vest, helmet, tactical military gloves, tactical kneepad, tactical shin guards, and tactical cup. What boots would you recommend for me?

Here at Military Boots HQ, we salute your dedication! I hear from a lot of service members who need recommended footwear for both dress and tactical situations. My suggestion is usually to use a boot style that offers ankle support as well as traction for slippery terrain.

“I have to wear military boots with metal inserts which are really heavy. But I also have to wear body armor so I need to be high enough for it.”

People wear boots for many reasons, but one of the most hotly debated topics among Marines is the best kind of boot to wear for various activities. Let’s look at some pros and cons of various types so you can decide what type of boot is best for you.

“Ive been wearing combat boots and I want to know if its ok.” Modern combat boots continually take a beating and provide ankle support and protection from the elements. They’re generally heavy and do not offer much in terms of space, which adds pressure to your foot.

Boots Off Mission: If you just need basic protection from the elements, think about getting a lighter shoe without all the extra weight, like a tennis shoe or sneaker to wear off mission.

Some of the most popular boots for extended periods of standing and walking are the Bates 9-Inch Tactical Hiker.

The Bates boots are waterproof and make it easy to come in quickly on your current boot size, whereas trying on a new boot is a slower process. It has a steel toe for added protection from hazardous materials on the job site. It has rubber on all areas that will be in contact with sludge or wet surfaces. The steel shank provides additional stability while hard wearing synthetic material makes the outsole comfortable.

This ankle height boot is adjustable by a lacing system to provide a more personalized, customized fit over time.
