Wow, some of you blokes really hang onto them. I mostly run them into the ground, but I do have a pair of Ammunition Boots issued to me by a caring government in 1982.
For some reason these, and gaiters to match, were still on the issue list even though we'd already transitioned over to Boots GP, both for ceremonial and field use, so these are almost unworn. I just didn't ever have the heart to throw them out, and when I finished up with my service the Army didn't ask for them back.
They are solidly built but stiff and not very comfortable, though admittedly never broken in. I'd worn out an earlier pair as a cadet, and they never really got comfortable either.They do take a really good shine though.
I suppose I could always use them as workboots, but I just never have. Maybe there's a collector out there?
