Doesn't look like the Bellvilles I was issued.
Having been in the USMC prior to the MARPAT and brown boot era (and, I might add, the Belleville boot era) I can assure you that those boots were not used by the USMC. Someone might have gotten away with wearing them for a time, but they were not issued.Originally Posted by LT08
We wore either all leather combat boots, black jungle boots, or green jungle boots.
For chrissakes hav'nt you seen blood diamond?
Prior to the "Belleville era", weren't Altama's All Leather and Jungle boots pretty much the standard among the US Military? Either with "Lung-sole" or "Panama-sole"
Yes. Some personnel wore different boots (pilots, USAF/USN) but the majority of us wore regular combat/jungle boots.
They look like Corcorans to me
Mojave combat boots by Matterhorn
I looking for new boots, for mountain terain, long range patrols (30km and more) in heavy terain - and my favorite is Mojave from matterhorn. What do you think about this boots? Is it good for me? And is it good for easier terain? Or do you think any alternative boots will better?
Thanks for advices.
Have you looked at civvie styles/brands? I'm partial to Vasque, but Lowe, Merrell, and a host of other boot makers have some really great products out.
look on Garmont tactical multiterrain, if you prefer lighter boots because your feet are sweating...
I'm wearing a pair of Columbia 'Frontier Peak GTX' at the mo... not for mil stuff tho!
They are the mutts nuts, goretex, lightweight, comfy as walking on the breasts of a Havana virgin every step, and they come in browny-coloured suede & fabric too. They're an ankle boot so I think v suitable for mountains (won't restrict the tendons at back of ankle, right)?
If you can get away with wearing them for mil stuff (dont have to wear black leather issue or issue-looking boots), I'd consider them.
Was a little wary buying Columbia as I know theyre not a traditional bootmaker (as opposed to Meindl, Scarpa etc) but v v pleased with the results!
I looked for somethink mil/style. But maybe... I'll take civ. style... Im not resolved.
4 Trenk: yea, I have "women" narrow feet - so I looking for somethink comfortable. And the Garmont multi terrain T8 looks really good.
4 Britboy: this boots is too "civi"... but good (i think one of my friends have it).
