Camo Boots!?

Ultimately, if you can afford it I don't see why you wouldn't want full camo coverage. ROI arguments go out the window when talking about combat equipment. When lives are on the line, nobody wants to veto an upcharge when there's only 7.62 millimeters between soiled britches and grave injury.

The latest we've seen in commercial camo patterned footwear come in A-TACS and MultiCam. It's not surprising that we haven't seen AOR boots because of the regulations placed on manufacturers working with the sensitive camo pattern.

Danner will be releasing the A-TACS / Danner all-camo TFX tactical boot, left, in Gore-Tex ($190) and hot weather ($170) versions. Magnum will have a few offerings in MultiCam, including the Spider 8.1 HP1 ($200), right, and the Sidewinder HPi ($250).
