Seems a reasonable page to me. Do we need the stubs? MadMaxDog 10:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, we could have more on the history and developement, don't you think? I think it's wise to encourage expanding this article. LL-Raoul 12:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The second pic is no combat boot

The first picture is a combat boot. But the second picture shows Ranger Boots.

Are they combat boots at all or some civilian lookalike. For instance they may be Getta Grip. // Liftarn

[edit] Contradiction: comfortable or not comfortable?

Following sentences appear, not together but, in the same article:

"Although combat boots have a reputation for being uncomfortable and even painful, (this has been improved.)"

"... as the boots are specifically designed to be comfortable to wear in a variety of changing conditions for long durations without significant long-term wear."

First of all, the article needs to cite referenses. Then, the contradictory statements about the comfort of the boots must be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.132.119.52 (talk • contribs)

They aren't really contradictory as the first is about their reputation and the second is about design issues. Sources would be nice. // Liftarn

[edit] British Combat Boots

British Combat boots section exists, in small detail but needs extension.

Although the article now is not only on U.S. combat footwear, there is a long way to go, and help would be apreciated!
