13 Combat Boots To Grunge Out In

I still have a pair of docs that are over ten years old. The soles cracked in 2007 when I was working on an archaeological dig in England (rainiest season on record). I bought a new pair of docs later that year and they are AWFUL. The quality deteriorated drastically when they stopped making them in England. They are painful and cheaply constructed.

Some of these look like my old military boots.  Please don’t tell me that grunge is back…ugh.  Throw up in my mouth!

Grunge never left. 

Although it breaks my heart, I refuse to buy new Docs now, as they are no longer English-made.  It feels like a rip-off to pay the same price for a shoe that is now made in China.

That first pair of Docs were freakin adorable! Must purchase immediately.

If you want REAL combat boots it’s just as simple as going to your local Army surplus store. The boots are generally no more than $60 there too, which beats the heck out of paying $150+

The thought of what this style of shoe would do to my size 11 feet makes me shudder.

Hell yeah! My combat boots and I have a long-term relationship. I bought them when I was 13, at the army surplus store. That $20 went pretty far, because after 7 years I’m still rockin’ them.

Am I the only one who still buys boots at the military surplus and at Western wear stores?

@BlueVibe. No. You, janiejones and vivicat are the only three. That’s why there’s such a good selection for you.

@AnitaBath: It would make you completely kick-ass in appearance, and men would falter before you.

@_jsw_: Men with some type of weird fetish that causes them to find women who look like they’re wearing flippers attractive?

@AnitaBath: All men find women who look like they’re wearing flippers attractive. That’s why men who SCUBA never need Viagra.

It’s our secret lust. Well, not so secret anymore, I guess.

After four years in the Marines, I refuse to wear combat boots or anything camo ever again.

@lelah and C.Munro

That explains why my last pair hurt my feet like hell.

MUST add those high Docs with the grommets to my collection - I already have black, silver & purple and they are the most comfortable things in the world.
