Who says combat boots are only for battle?
Combat boots were originally military boots designed to be worn by soldiers during actual combat, or combat training, as opposed to during parades and other ceremonial duties. As fashion forward gurus often do, pop culture has turned combat boots into popular, revered fashion clothing, often seen in the goth, punk, grunge, heavy metal and industrial cultures. Today, in fashion, combat boots have become mainstream items of clothing that say cool, hip, trendy and vogue.

They are traditionally made of hardened, sometimes waterproof leather. The combat boot is often specialized for certain climates and conditions, such as jungle boots, desert boots and cold weather boots, as well as specific uses, such as tanker boots and jump boots. Whether you are in the military, walking the catwalk or merely a lover of combat boots, the world has gone crazy for combat boots!

In the United States, rifle units of the US military were equipped with calf-high boots in the War of 1812. From the 1820s until before the American Civil War, soldiers were issued ankle-high boots which were made on straight lasts. There was no “left” or “right” boot, instead, the boots shaped themselves to the wearer’s foot over time. Ouch.
