All the boot types in the system (and a few that aren't there yet)

[armyvern]

Funny that, thats how I already lace them, only way I knew how (at least thats how I thought you 'HAD' to lace them =) ) Guess its just me running around, and jumping of veh, and such.... oh well, winter is only 8 months of the year  :

Which is why I said "not I" in response to be able to solve your dilemma for you. That's how I wear mine, and so far (20 years later) I haven't had an issue with them ... so I'm not changing mine. They work for me like that.

Someone on here though MUST have dealt with this before and can possibly recommend something I'm sure.

Anyone?? Guys?? Bueller??

Vern, I must admit the locally purchased Haix P6 (P9?) boots they bought for me were very nice and their soles survived without much sign of use after 7 months in country.

Of course, that reply is to what the last post on my page 2 had.. before I noticed there was a page 3 and typed up my reply.

As for Mukluks, I find if they are too tight they tend to restrict blood flow and make my feet colder.  I have issues with my extremities getting cold and suprisingly it makes a big difference for my feet.  Lacing them for me is as per normal footwear, wrapped around the body of the boot several times in a criss cross pattern to the top and tied off.

Glad to hear that your boots worked!! Yay!! 

As for your mukluks ... like a ballerina eh? I'm seeing hints of that in you!!  ;D

Sandals, tropical, brown (for you sailor types!!).

Ahh, finally something for the sailors.  Can't believe that no one has mentioned those awful sea boots that used to be issued and are surely still in the system.

Missed that one.  Just curious tho, are those old "sea boots" that were more like a shitty steel toe shoe actually still in the system or did they get tossed when the navy switched to the work boot style?

There are still some in the system. I've actually had to order some up for a couple of sailors who found that the new type weren't working for them.

Hmmm ... there seems to be an ongoing theme with footwear and it working for some/not for others ...

Boot allowance, boot allowance, boot allowance. (Quite like "beetlejuice X 3" -- I wonder if it will eventually work).

 

[DirtyDog]

and I can't think of any other boots at the moment, or wait can I...

Is there a better option than the muckluks (for winter, when its cold), they destroy my feet, and everyone else's that I know

God that would be great, a Boot Allowance, (Vern now try clicking your heals together 3 times and say Boot Allowance that if the beetlejuice method didn't work  ;D)
