If
you're old enough to remember, then you must be familiar with the
song “These Boots Are Made For Walking” by Nancy Sinatra. While
it's true that most boots are made and designed for everyday walking,
some others serve special and specific purposes. Such are combat
boots.
Civilians
are not unfamiliar with combat boots; in fact, some own a pair or two
due to the trend of military-inspired fashion. However, real
combat
boots worn by law enforcers, soldiers, and special operations
personnel are not just for fashion's sake. They are made and designed
to provide protection and comfort, while aiding our men and women in
uniform in carrying out their duty better.
Law
enforcers, for instance, need durable
and comfortable footwear that will not expose their movement in
any dangerous operation. Meanwhile, military and special operations
personnel often find themselves assigned in harsh environments such
as desert areas and mountainous terrains that require added
protection and comfort. Their combat boots can be made to help them
survive any terrain, environment, or weather condition.
Miss
Sinatra was right in singing that boots are made for walking, because
they actually are. However, we all know that there's so much more to
boots than just that.
