As a Iraq veteran I have a love for desert boots. I bought these not for my uniform, but to wear in my own personal time. I'm really happy with these, except for one aspect, they run a little wide for me. If you have wide feet these will work great for you. I did put a pair of thick insoles in them in addition to the padding already there and that for the most part cured the problem. I would otherwise rate these boots five stars.
