I recently bought a new pair of boots. Though they felt OK when I tried them on, actually wearing them at work was a different story. I recalled once reading that they were making boots for soldiers that were already 'broken in' (well this was some years ago), then started wondering if there were boots a civilian could get that didn't involve the painful process of the actual break-in. I've decided I'd pay more for something like that.

Of course, if you have any other advice, I'd appreciate it.

Do y'all every buy stuff online? If so, I'd appreciate any helpful information. I was looking at these boots. BTW, I saw them for $48 one day and a couple of days later, it was $89.

Blackhawk makes some nice coyote tan boots. A little pricey though.

Sounds good, but yeah it's a little pricey. I think I'll go with the Converse Desert boots. They're a little expensive for me, too, but maybe they'll last a few years.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The Converse boot is not authorized. It looks to much like a sneaker. Not sure about the blackhawk one.

These are very comfortable http://www.tacboots.com/c-wellco-boots-p-W-80020-001.html

The first time I wore them we did a 5K ruck march. No blisters, no pain. Well worth the money.
