combat boots do not represent anything stylish, they reflect aggression or seriousness, that's what I think.

There are a number of interpretations, and who knows how this truly began. Some may feel that this is a symbolism of Agression, like what metal started as, the most agressive music. Others may feel that they are marked as a metalhead by wearing this, and thus feel obligated to do so. And some may think it looks good, you know, stylish. I personally like them because they are durable and can get your feet through any rough terrain (Even though they are a bit uncomfortable)

Ive never liked Dr.Martens or even worse, Shelly's Rangers type of boots, because they are pretty expensive and damn large and heavy! And everyone wears them today, not so much because of their quality, but because of style, and it became sort of cliche.... And I would ever call those "Combat" boots... I doubt they ar esuitabel for combat hahah Any away, what I currently wear are Magnum boots, they are used by the police here and they are very light and comfortable, and waterproof all the way. There are many variants, but mine look smth like this

Written by Stalker on 05.12.2007 at 23:56 Yeah that's a nice boot. I had a pair when I was in the army. They were great in the summer 'cause the wasn't too hot and heavy. I think they're pretty good looking as well

I buy my combat boots from a Brazilian brand called Vilela, they have quite a high-quality leather. A pair costs R$120,00 (around US$70,00) and they endure a lot of punishment. I only buy one pair at a time, wear it every single day, and when it gets worn out, I buy another one. I tell ya, there's no better shoe to wear in a metal gig than a good pair of combat boots. Also, it's good for walking in the streets, 'cuz they're always full of shit, like mud, dirty water puddles, crap, used condoms or broken glass. And, lastly, if you get caught in a fight, the last thing you'll want on your feet will be flip-flops!

Dr Martens boots arent combat boots, they are workers' boots and both punks and skinheads (who introduced them to rock fashion) identified with that social class. Boots in general are a sign of machismo. Not surprising that the phallus-obsessed metal genre reveres them so much!

i had cobat boots once, but i grew out of them, now i have police issue boots, very uncomfortable. anyway, i don't know why people where combat boots, perhaps its just that they got them at vinnies or are trying to make a statment that only they can understand.

Actually my parents bought me a new pair. They are more of the military type this time. Im quite pleased with them. And they were cheap, I like cheap things and I dont like to spend much money on clothes and things of the sort.

I just got a new pair today. Went to a military surplus store, and bought em for about $30. They're durable, which is exactly what I'm looking for, and because my dad was in the army, I know all about how to keep these babies polished to a glass shine

 Israeli combat boots, steel toed tipped as well which is a bitch because I have to verify that everytime I walk through a security check. They even have a compartment inside for dog tag's, the reason they have it there is because, if you get blown up, most probably, your shoes are going to be the only thing remaining.
