Giving you guys the BOOT!

[17 Oaks]

Figure most of you wear a boot just about everyday. I have all my life and since my first pair of US Army Combat boots at age 10, because my daddy wore them.

Been thru a lot in over 60 years. But of all my working boots this pair of USMC issue RATS is the most comfortable and probaly, rugged I have ever worn. 3 styles, Steel Toe, GorTex and hot weather. They are made by Danner for the USMC. Yea, bit pricey at $350 a pair MSRP, but they are ISSUE if you are a Marine and as a result, plenty of Marines rarely wear them as they have desk jobs, some guys keep a pair for display and inspection and have a pair they wear. And a lot of guys get out of the USMC and the boots end up on ebay...where I got mine for $69 bucks, new and unused.

If you are looking for a good comfortable work boot and you would be proud wear a boot that has the USMC Globe on the outer heel cup then this boot is for you.

I may have been Army for 26 years but the USMC has a BETTER BOOT by a mile..

The most comfortable boots I have ever worn were the Chukka boots the Air Force had back in the day. When they announced that they were phasing them out, I bought every one I could find in my size.

Pair of hiking boots here made by Danner. About 500 miles with a full pack on them. Showing no signs of wear. (Unlike the feet that go in them!)

I still my Danner "Ft Lewis" Boots made for and authorized for wear on Ft Lewis, Wa when I was there (mid 80's). Great boot for sure.

For me the Garmont T8 Bifidas are the most comfortable and durable boot I have worn in 16 years of service. They come out of the box feeling like you have been breaking them in for a year
