Does anybody know of a good website where combat boots (or anything similar) could be purchased? I've found a few websites, but so far nothing I'm really impressed with. My current pair of boots are about torn to shreds, so I definitely need to replace them.

I got a really good, inexpensive pair here: http://www.wephaus.com/footwear.html , but they seem to have sold out of them in the last eight months. I recommend finding a good european surplus catalog or look under that category in ebay, or for nicer boots go to www.uscav.com .

I seem to remember seeing some awesome Israeli combat boots at one point, and some pretty cool German tanker boots. But I can't recall where. I think it was in some catalog a friend of mine had.

Isn't there an army surplus store near you? There's a big one here in Winnipeg where you can buy anything army-related, except for the guns. :(

Alternatively to website: Have you considered an army surplus store or a "Gun and Knife" show in your local area? True you'll be dwelling amongst the mullets but when in Rome, right? Just sayin'

There's only one army surplus store in the area these days, it's in a bad part of town, and last time I went there, they really sucked.

I think I'd do better online.

Come to think of it, I could use an army jacket too.

US Cavalry carries german tanker boots, or at least used to. If it was a large printed catalog, that was probably the one your friend had. I've been to their store in Radcliff, KY and bought some steel-toed combat boots that I used on my scouting treks. They weren't all leather so they had less of a military look to them, and I've beaten the hell out of them enough that lesser boots would be in shreds by now.

I saw a pretty cool pair of tanker boots on that uscav website. Might get those.

Girl: Why are you wearing combat boots?
Proto: Because I'm prepared to see a lot of action! OH YEAH! *gyrate hips toward girl*

USE THIS TO GET WOMENS. >:

You want modern boots? Or old-school WWI/WWII style?

For that matter, www.museumreplicas.com has some excellent Roman legionaire boots.

You might want to check eBay, just in case. I've had some odd luck there a few times.

You know what looks great with boots... These Tight Ass Mother Fuckers (www.utilikilts.com). They are the epitome of badass.

Heya cocksucker. I can get you some nice ones that are already worn in. Do you want military grade? If so, they issue us Bates brand. They last forever. FOR EVER. I've been wearing the same pair since 98. And they've seen some serious shit... Karbala. Islamabad. A Danang whorehouse with knee-high puddles of lady juice. Blood and Guts. Dustbunnies.

I'M AN OEF VETERAN, DAMNIT!

Jason, go to Exile in Richmond... they had a nice variety of them last time I was there. I bought an awesome pair of low-cut gladiators from them... but if you want boots they had some nice gladiator brand ones there too. You can get them in a variety of colors too. And yes, they've all got the steel toe.

Here's a photo (though it's not the best quality) of the combat boot style:

"These boots are good for stompin' faggots!"

I wish I could get the a decent picture and the actual quote, but my faggot brother has decided to lend out my DVDs without asking. I wish I had a pair of combat boots to stomp him. >:

I think it goes something like, "They cost half as much, last twice as long, and are twice as good at stomping QUEERS!"

Put on your shitkickers and kick some shit! Have you tried www.aafes.com ? There's a link to military clothing sales on there. I'm not sure whether you have to be a military member or dependent to order through there, though. :/

Here's another link: BOOTS (http://www.armynavymilitarysurplus.com/footwear-army-navy-military/corcoran-mach-military-boots.asp)

They both mainly offer Corcorans, though. Official combat boot of all U.S. military campains. :)

Combat boots never seemed to fit right. Guess I'm not a soldier. However, I've pulled many ten hour shifts on concrete. That's why I like the Redwings. I used to get a pair every year, at a job I had. After eight years, I had a closet full of these beauties...
