"When someone speaks of the military, one of the first things that may come to a person's mind is the gear. From the uniforms to the shoes to weapons, each aspect of their gear serves a certain purpose that helps in making an efficient soldier. However, some apparel are no longer associated with just the armed forces. Combat boots have found their way out of the war zone and into daily use by civilians thanks to the many advantages it brings. The origins of the shoes can be traced to the time of ancient Romans, and have since seen many improvements on its initial design over time. Bringing the qualities that have worked for each incarnation of the footwear, modern manufacturers now have a standard design. Lightweight but still sturdy, they're perfect for soldiers and adventure seekers. And with a variety of colors available, men and women can enjoy a comfortable pair of boots for everyday use."

Why Do Civvies Bother Wearing Combat Boots?
The
answer for this question is quite simple: civilians simply want to
benefit from the same reliability and ruggedness of military gear
that soldiers enjoy. Practically speaking, combat boots are useful
pieces of footwear that are guaranteed to resist everyday wear and
tear. Combat boots also occasionally emerge as hot fashion trends,
with their high profile, rigid construction, and the beauty of their
material.
These
days, civilians can purchase combat boots in various designs from
reputable military surplus stores. Tanker boots use straps rather
than laces to secure them in place, which can be just as useful to
machine operators as they are for tank crews. Extreme cold weather
boots, as the name implies, are particularly useful in areas with
extremely low temperatures, which make them popular among
mountaineers and those who live in snowy areas.
Combat
boots are largely favored by military enthusiasts and role-players
(especially cosplayers) who wish to achieve a certain look. These
shoes are essential gear for paintball and airsoft, given that these
games involve plenty of running and shooting (similar to what real
life soldiers experience). Combat boots are also popular among rock
and metalcore music fans, especially if their favorite bands also
wear combat boots as part of their signature look.
Combat Boots for Fashionable Civilians
Combat boots
are originally designed to be used by soldiers during combat or combat
training. Each boot is made to provide adequate foot protection, ankle
stability, and a firm grip, which are necessary for traversing rugged terrains
and maneuvering through obstacles. Boots also provide maximum comfort and
ensures that no matter where a solder is stationed, no matter how harsh the
climate is, and no matter what kind of environment he is in, his feet will
always be safe and comfortable.
Recently,
combat boots have become a fashion trend in the world of civilians. The
“military look” is now in style, and even celebrities are into it. At first,
wearing combat boots were only popular in the goth, punk, and grunge scene, but
eventually became mainstream. These days, most people prefer to wear combat
boots because of their durability, convenience, and versatility.
Combat boots
come in different colors and can be worn in different styles. Black patent
leather boots can be paired with pants, while desert boots would look good with
long and loose skirts. Combat boots are commonly worn with jeans, leggings,
shorts, and dresses. Wearing combat boots can give your outfit a touch of
grunge or even a rock and roll vibe.
Boots are Made for Walking—and More
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.
