Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Combat Boots
In the 1820s American Soldiers wore ankle high boots. They did not have a left boot or right boot, and this way they could be worn on either foot. The reason for this was so soldiers didn’t get confused with what boot goes on which foot. This design was very uncomfortable until they were able to wear them in so it would fit their foot better.
World War II was the first time the military introduced the first official military boot. The boots had clasps to make it easier to get on and off. They also had a sole and heel and were made out of rubber. These boots were worn until the beginning of the Vietnam War.
When soldiers were in Vietnam, they noticed the boots weren’t good in all the elements that Vietnam had to offer. The U.S. military saw this and decided to have a new boot designed by Wellco. They wanted a design that was better fit for these conditions. The military was impressed with this design and style of boot. They decided to have all the military boots based off this design.
