In order to find the right combat boot, tactical boot or duty boot you need to take steps to examine your needs and the ultimate end-use for the boot

What kind of conditions do you plan to use your combat boots, tactical boots or duty boots in? Combat boots can be desert and sand prepared or jungle and forest equipped. Most tactical boots and duty boots tend to be similar but there are variations on boot height and support thickness. Also if you are going to be in cold weather, it is best to make sure the boot is lined with Thinsulate or a similar insulating material. Most boots will be waterproof but check the boots specifications out as well to make sure they are.

Depending on the environment you plan to be in the combat boots you choose will have different tread patterns. Tactical boots and duty boots mostly come in contact with concrete and asphalts surfaces and tend to be more multi-terrain boots. Jungle boots often have rippled soles that are PVC/PU injection molded. Jump boots and infantry boots tend to be flat on their soles while ranger boots are more like hiking boots.

Getting a good fit is going to be crucial to your comfort in your new combat boots, tactical boots or duty boots. Don’t get boots too large because the leather will stretch as it’s worn and you want a snugger fit. Wear thick socks in your boots and wear them around the house before taking them outside. This way you can tell if they fit right and if they don’t, you can return them. Most retailers will exchange boots that haven’t been scuffed up or worn outside. You can use a leather conditioner to work trouble spots out of the leather boots. Some shoe repair stores can stretch any chaffing areas. If you buy steel toe boots, remember these are harder to wear in and the toes don’t change. Wear thick socks in these boots as well and be sure you have room in the toe section because it will not stretch.
