US AIR FORCE AUTHORIZED BOOTS AFI 36-2903

HOW TO CHOOSE US AIR FORCE BOOTS

When shopping for Air Force compliant boots, there are a few things to remember. First, all military boots should fit snuggly with a little wiggle room left in the toe to provide extra space for foot swelling or thick winter socks in cold weather. If you're heading to a wet zone, consider boots with a waterproof GORE-TEX lining.

An adjustable lacing system is a must, but some Air Force-approved boots also have side zippers that reduce donning and doffing time. A steel or lightweight composite toe can offer additional protection against impact injuries in industrial areas. For expert advice on how to choose the proper boots, check out the US Patriot Blog.
