About Military Footwear
The military footwear that includes boots and shoes is specifically designed for the defense personnel to protect their feet from adverse environmental conditions, gunshots, and fire attacks among other harmful attacks. This footwear is usually made up of hard leather and metal, sometimes waterproofed leather with grip and ankle stability. These shoes are designed for the military man who needs to climb high mountain ranges, cross dense forests, patrol streets in difficult environmental conditions, and perform rigorous combat training daily. These shoes are highly durable, light in weight, and resistant to heat and oil which is why they are in high demand among defense professionals.
