Dick Splash Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Big news really, because other than desert boots, the British army has never had boots in any tone other than black. As part of a contract worth £80 million, troops will have the choice of wearing five different boots, depending on where they are based and what job they are doing. The five types available are: Desert Combat: worn by dismounted troops conducting high levels of activity in desert environments exceeding 40 °C Desert Patrol: worn by mounted troops, typically drivers or armoured troops conducting lower levels of activity in desert environments exceeding 40 °C Temperate combat: worn by dismounted troops for high levels of activity in temperate climates Patrol: worn by mounted troops, typically drivers or armoured troops conducting lower levels of activity in temperate climates Cold Wet Weather: worn by dismounted troops for high levels of activity in temperatures down to –20 °C. Each of the five boot types comes in two different styles, so personnel can wear whichever one is more comfortable for them. New combat boots.
