BOOTS

[TEAM SURGE]

OK, now is speed lace, full lace, or regular lace better???  I'm confused.

COMBAT BOOTS! Then again I have giant feet so they just fit better!

The different types of laces are all found on combat boots.

I prefer speed lace, I find it easier to work with, and it is, well, faster to work with (hence the name).

As to different types of boots, I prefer jungle boots. As a Floridian I have no need for a heavier boot, and the breathable nature of jungle boots makes wearing them in the summer much more tolerable. There is a lot less leather to polish too.

I have freakish large feet... Size 15.  And I am only 14?  scary...    Anyways, I have a hard time finding boots for me, because my foot is VERY LONG AND NARROW.  The problem is, that my feet slip around in the boot, because my foot is so narrow.  I have to put like a no-slip shoe pad in the bottom of my boot.  Anyone else have this same problem?

Interesting never knew that. *enemy* oh look something black and shiny coming right towards me.(two seconds later) *enemy* oww never trust a man wearing shiny boots. I know that was stupid but hey I thought it was funny.

Well, actually that is sort of right...  My chief is joining the Navy Seals, and his unit won't let them shine their boots, as they are supposed to be "invisible."  He wears the same boots to CAP meeting as to his seals meeting.  He shines them for CAP, then goes and scuffs them for seals... Sad, but it works.

I have really wide feet, so I have to get the SWAT combat boots, they are very comfortable! Try the tying your boots tigh, and putting the non lip pads in that should hold it....and yes it is very weird how big your foot  is haha!

I wear size 15's as well.  The problem I see is that since not many companies make boots in size 15 a standard as to what is size 15 hasn't been established.  No 2 pairs of size 15's seem to fit the same.  I've bought 2 pairs of black boots, one jungle style, and the other are EMT types.  In both cases I don't wear them for missions because it's guaranteed that I'll get blisters within 30 minutes.  My main problem is the fit around the heel.  I've gotten to where I only wear civilian hiking boots.  The don't meet uniform standards but it's either that or I'll have to pull my team back out of the woods eventually because my feet will have turned into minced meat.
