Hi all! I'm looking to find a name of a boot that the usmc said was not authorized. However, they were cheaper than danner's about the same quality, were a lot lighter, and resembled a tennis shoe. Before deploying with 1/8 we were told the unit would not be authorized to wear them. I cant remember the name of them for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated. They were definitely not an issue boot such as belleville or bates.

Thanks
I remember now they were simply "SWAT" brand boots. Everyone who bought some before deployment was pissed because tehy could not wear them because they lacked teh eagle globe and anchor . I however bought my second pair of danner boots before getting in country they have worked exceptionally well. I was just trying to remember what they were. Everyone boasted that they felt like tennis shoes and cost under $75. You are all right however take care of your feet and tehy will take care of you.
no im not over there anymore i got back in april and have since discharged. Luckily my whole platoon came back thanks for support!
