Really....
I heard from a friend....
Seem ta have been standard redesigned issue from the late 80,s world wide and thru desert storm and then on thru the 05 06 era...
Seem ta have been standard issue for OIF 1, 2, and 3.
Urban warfare and long approach marches on roads.

Hmmm..
Never seen anyone do 25 milers ( gut check) either with full battle rattle and sustainment ruck.
Never.....

Just heard this all from a friend of course....

Never seen anyone like whole brigades and every swinging Richard in em wearing em.
Heard that from a friend also.

Never heard anyone complain about how they suck on hard pavement.
Heard that from that same guy also.

But then again your avg civilian has soft feet and no hardened heels or on the balls of their feet or their toe pads either.
That probably goes for cops also.



Anyone who has been in the light infantry knows they lose their hardened skin on the soles of their feet over time.
Heard that from the same guy also.

Mine are soft just like any soft foot average civilian or cop sitting idling in a car for most of his shift.

No wonder the sneaker boots are so popular to the tender foot types.

I put many a mile on those backpacking the Sierras. I'm sure they'd serve well as LEO boots.

Might want to put a more cushy insole in them though.

Today's Danners are by no means the boot they were 10 or 15 years ago. Lowas are how I roll these days. They're easily the best I've ever worn.

Excellent point Geno.
Thanks for the prompt.
Plenty of aftermarket options to replace the waffle sole insert.

Any joe with a lick of sense buys em.

The waffle sole insert is their only short coming. IMO.

My department (FD) gave us Warrington Pro boots but most guys bought Danner Acadia and the loggers out of pocket. The Warringtons got brought out on formal inspection days so we could all show we were wearing a safety toe boot.

Waffle sole insert?

I don't think they had them back in the Olden Days.

As I recall there was just a leather type insole material. A pair of cotton socks next to the foot for absorption, pair of wool socks on the outside of the cotton ones and that was pretty much it for cushioning.


We must have had tough feet back then. I still kind of do. I was exceptionally happy yesterday as it's finally not freezing all day, or so hot it's baking the ground, and I got to go across the (dry) creek to check my bees the way I like to.
