|  | | | One thing I hate about army boots is that they're so big. When I still wore them, I sometimes found myself having trouble with even the easiest climbable fences. So I don't use them anymore and wear a pear of old DC's. I just watch where I'm walking, haven't had anything through my shoes in a year.

| | | | ive been known to wear combat boots on occasion... usually when i feel the need to dress in fatigues. but as of late ive also just been wearing my skate-shoes... light, much easier to climb things, and i feel way more stealthy.

| | | | I've got a pair of US infantry boots I got at a thrift store for only $12. They're pretty old and look like they've seen a bit of action, but they're really sturdy. They're also remarkably light, compared to the motorcycle boots I usually wear.

| | | | I use a pair of 8" Magnum Phantom-lites (side-zip). I've had them for about a year now and they rock. My only problem with them has been the zippers, namely, they broke and I had to glue them shut to keep the boot useable. Don't get side-zips, sure they may seem convenient, and they are, but they'll break, and it'll piss you off.

I had a problem with my Bates, the velco tab on the top of the boot just doesn't stick anymore, so when I crouch and crap the zipper slowly starts sliding down.. I also broke the lil zipper handle tab thing.. so as a fix I threaded paracord through the zipper and use that to zip/unzip (which works better anyways) and to keep the boots zipped I normally just tape the top of my boots when I know I am doing something that I really don't wanna have to deal with unzipped boots..
Strangely my buddy has gone through a few pairs of the exact same boots I have and he hasn't had that kind of problem yet, although I wear mine everyday...

For outrunning cops, yeah. But durability and sheer performance when say... stepping in mud or on nails, boots are the best option.

| | | | three different pairs, depending on the mission.
most of the time, i wear a pair or Merrell Explorer 3 hiking boots. comfy, grippy, and steel-toed.
if i'm doing something quick, just my Chucks or Vans.
but if i'm in a drain, nothing beats a pair of Vietnam-era USAF issue jungle combat boots.

| | | | Nothing beats a pair of big old army boots found in the dumpster of a still active barracks. (This was a tiny barracks in the suburbs mostly used for the occasional reserves get-together and army cadets under 18, but I usually forget to mention that)

No. Danners are lace to toe, even on the USMC special versions.

Hmm, what brand are they then? The ones I got issued are Bates, and although they're comfortable and all, I don't think I'd ever use them for UE - mine squeak too much. Maybe I just need a new pair.
