Combat boots are Military Boot s designed to be worn by Soldiers during actual Combat or combat training as opposed to during Parade s and other Ceremonial duties. Soldiers have worn boots in battle for much of recorded history; early specialised boots included the Hobnail Boot s of the Roman Legion s. Modern combat boots are designed to provide a combination of Grip , Ankle Stability , and Foot Protection suitable to a rugged Environment . They are normally made of hardened and/or chemically-treated Leather and can be Waterproof . Variations on the basic lace up combat boot have been designed for special types of troops ( Tanker Boot s, Jump Boot s) and special environments ( Jungle Boot s, Desert Boot s, Cold Weather Boot s). Recent combat boots are beginning to integrate Kevlar and Nomex within their side panels to provide better protection and ventilation for the Skin of the Soldiers who wear them. Combat boots are also popular in the Goth , Punk , Heavy Metal , Industrial , Skinhead , and BDSM Subculture s. |
