Combat Boots Provide Comfort And Durability

The combat boots made today are specifically designed to give the wearer grip and ankle stability, while at the same time, and offer maximum foot protection to withstand the most rugged of environments. Most combat boots are made from hardened leather, which is often waterproofed as well. Many improvements have been made over the years to these boots to increase comfort. Hiking boots have served as a sort of model in this regard, by inspiring the use of such technologies as side panels made of Gore-Tex nylon, which is used to provide ventilation and improve comfort.

The combat boot of today is diversified to fit various individual needs and environments. There are now combat boots specially designed for wear in the jungle, desert, or cold weather. There are also ones designed for specific uses, for example, tanker boots or jump boots.

Combat boots have a long history. The first such boots that were ever issued to soldiers were "hobnail boots", which were worn by foot soldiers who served in the Roman legions. Soldiers in the New Model Army who fought during the English Civil War were also issued ankle boots or shoes. They received three pair, which they would change out after each march so that they wore evenly. From the 18th Century up until World War I, the cavalry wore Hessian boots.

The buckle shoes or boots began to be replaced by lace-up boots in the British army during the later part of the Napoleonic Wars. Around World War I, these combat boots were replaced once again "George" boots which have a Galosh pattern. Next came ammunition boots that were the military boots of choice from World War II up to the 1950s. The U.S. military was furnished with calf-high boots during the War of 1812. Solders from around the 1820s until just before the Civil War wore ankle-high boots. These boots were broken in by the wearer rather than there being a specific shoe for the left or right foot, which made for a very uncomfortable fit and giving the soldiers painful blisters.

In 1917, the trench boot came onto the scene of combat boots. This boot consisted of tanned cowhide and had a half middle sole, which was then covered by a complete sole. It also had iron plates, which were attached to the heel of the boot. The only problem with this boot was that it was not waterproof. A year later, another trench boot, known as the Pershing Boot, was created using heavier leather and other minor changes.

The United States Army finally began issuing the first true combat boot during World War II. These combat boots were basically a modified version of service shoes, but with an added high-top cuff made of smooth leather, which was closed with two buckles. This boot's sole and heel were one piece and were made from a molded synthetic rubber or reclaimed rubber. Eventually the US Army moved on to black combat boots that were shined. However, today most US military wear non-shine boots which are more functional.

Combat boots were originally intended for wear by soldiers, while engaged in the rough environs of war. However, they have also become a fashion statement for civilians. Originally, these boots were a way to stand out from the mainstream. As such, the punk, Goth, skinhead, heavy metal, and industrial subcultures typically wore them. But they have become more mainstream over the years. Additionally, some people may wear combat boots simply because they are so comfortable and durable. As such, these boots are now widely available for purchase.
