The Blueprint Worked So Well For The NFL, Why Wouldn't Nike Get In On The Action?

I don't have any "issue" combat boots. I have a pair of Red Wing 8" boots that are the equivalent. Those "issue" boots went a long way in destroying my ankles. I HATED those left over, Vietnam-issue boots with a passion.

Those look like Corcorans. We weren't allowed to wear those. Until the mid-90s in the Marines, you could wear ONLY Marine Corps issue boots. Soon as they changed THAT dumbass rule I was sporting a pair of Danners .

Yeah they're not issue, although I liked those too. I don't know if what we were issued in 1979 were Vietnam era or not. The new khaki colored boots look nice too. Would like to find a good pair of those.

I got these at a big shoe store here in Wisconsin. They have zippers on the side. They sure are comfy though.
