vara bungas: Interesants apkopojums par dažādu armiju zābaku tipiem, kas varētu būt noderīgs NBS modes vēsturniekiem nodrošinājuma speciālistiem, lai tie labāk orientētos ražotāju un zīmolu zīmolu pasaulē. No savas puses teikšu, ka gatavnieka zābakiem ir jābūt dārgiem un ievalkātiem. Dārgiem ne tādā nozīmē, ka tev jāmeklē pēc iespējas lielāku cenu, bet tādā, ka tas būtu dārgākais apģērba elements no tā ko vari atļauties. Piemēram, jaka par 150 euro un zābaki par 75 – neder, bet zābaki 150 un jaka 75 – ir OK. Tas atmakāsies.

kolēģis “Rozā sivēns”, kurš rubī tirgus fišku :) iesaka:
“…Nu kaut vai sākot ar to pašu LOWA. Vai Meindl. Tie netā puslīdz brīvi pieejami. Konkrētus modeļus nevarēšu ieteikt, jo tieši military nav mana joma.
Internets rokās un individuālas piemērotības loterija sākot no 190gbp/240eur+ mazumtirdzniecībā. No membrānām iesaku pameklēt ar eVent vai kādu no TORAY Dermizax versijām.
Iesaku pievērst uzmanību mazākiem vācu/itāļu ražotājiem/ Mīnuss gan tas, ka angliskajā interneta telpā pamaz atsauksmju būs.
Toties mani parsteidza Itāļu atbilde par brāķu procentu (kas klasiski apaviem ir 0,9-1,5% pat labiem ražotājiem) – mums nav tādu gadījumu (un izbrīns sejā par to, ka šāds jautājums vispār ir uzdots) …
Itāļiem gan iepirkums par mid ar gore-tex sākas no 150eur par min.1500 pāru partiju.. Salīdzinājumam – Bates ražotāja cena ir gandrīz 4x zemāka.
Cerams, ka vismaz kaut kad militāristi nāks pie prāta un tiešām sāks domāt, kas, pēc kāda principa un par cik tiek pirkts. Šobrīd viss darbojas pēc – ko mēs ātrāk varam dabūt, ko mēs esam pirkuši, ko mēs varāk varam nopirkt par pieejamo budžetu.. Vai arī ko mēs varam nopirkt no tiem foršajiem čaļiem, kas mums ir lieli draugi…. Sāpe ir, bet nebūs īstā vieta kur pļāpāt ar valsti saistītu institūciju iepirkumiem :) :)
Nu tas īsumā.”
Australia
Since 2000, the Australian Army (as well as other its other Defence branches), primarily uses the Redback Terra Combat Boot as a replacement for the Vietnam War-era General Purpose combat boots. It was given a limited amount of tests in 1999, and was later distributed in 2000. Despite the boot’s general aptitude for the tasks which the ADF had first put it in place for, it still had major flaws. 90% of all negative feedback from soldiers was about its inappropriate sizing, having only 43 different sizes. Many also claimed that its sole could rot in worst case tropical circumstances.
Currently, development is underway to create a better boot. To address concerns, the Australian Army maintains a list of approved non-standard issue boots that can be worn by troops. Boots approved by the Chief of Army as at 25/6/11 include:
- ALTAMA 4156 or 4158 3LC Hot Weather
- Belleville M590 or M591 Hot Weather
- Bates 30501 Durashock desert
- Crossfire Peacekeeper plus
- DANNER Acadia Desert
- MEINDL Desert fox Safari
- LOWA Urban Desert
- GARMONT T8 Multi Terrain
Argentina
In the early 20th century, Argentine soldiers worn hobnail boots with leather gaiters as well as jackboots. The combat boots worn during the Falklands War came with durable stitched rubber soles which were stolen from dead Argentines by the British as they were preferred to the poorly made DMS (Direct Moulded Sole) boots. These boots continue to be worn today as well as the later pattern with “EA” stamped on the leg.
Belgium
Belgian combat boots are marked by the abbreviation “ABL” (Armée Belge / Belgisch Leger), i.e. “Belgian armed forces” in French and Dutch languages. The soles of Belgian combat boots have different markings, according to the soles manufacturers: Rugak, Rubex and Solidor (models of 1970-s). Leather uppers have markings of “GESKA” (“Geska” NV) or “ARWY NV“. Belgian Combats of the years 1970-90s come with stitched rubber soles. Later pattern made by Urban Body Protection International and come with British type “tyre tread” soles.
France
Combat boots of the French army are nicknamed “rangers” because of their similarity to the M 43 American model. Since the end of the world war 2, three models have been manufactured. The first model was based on the 1952 combat ankle-boots on which a leather high-top cuff with two buckles were added. It was made of sturdy but very stiff brown coloured cowhide leather. It was called “brodequin à jambière attenante Mle 1952″ and was widely distributed from 1956 on, in priority to airborne troops engaged in Algeria. In 1961, a simplified version was introduced, the boot and the leather cuff being made in one piece. In 1965 a new version of the 1961 model was introduced made of shined black grained leather more flexible than the original one. Their soles were of a direct molded type. In 1986 a transitory model with laces to the top and enhanced waterproofing was experimented under the designation “combat boots model F 2″ but was not adopted. The two first models had to be blackened with coloured grease and shoe polish. They were issued to French soldiers including Foreign legionnaires until the beginning of the 90s and then were kept in store in case of conflict. A lot of them have been released on the market after the gendarmerie dropped the territorial defense mission at the beginning of the 21st Century. A winter model, with laces to the top and a Gore-tex lining was introduced in 1998. The third and winter model are still in service in the French army but are progressively replaced in operation by more modern Meindl type boots.
Norway
The current combat boot used by the Norwegian armed forces is the M77, it was introduced in 1977 and is produced by Alfa Skofabrikk AS. The M77 boot took ten years to develop and strict requirements were set for weight, durability, water resistance, comfort, as well as having to be easy to maintain and good at resisting heat for quicker drying. The Norwegian army frequently test boots from other manufacturers, they have, however, not made any plans to change boots for their soldiers. The M77 boot has notches along the sole and in the heel made for the NATO issue skis used by the Norwegian Armed Forces. The bindings for these skis fit the M77 boots as well as the thick waterproof outer shoes they can be put in, and can be used for skis as well as snowshoes.
Sweden
The military started using boots in 1779. The current model is m/90 that is designed to be both comfortable and light as well as giving ankle support. They are part of the m/90 uniform system.
South Africa
The South African National Defence Force are issued brown combat boots with pimple print leather and stitched rubber soles. Paratroopers wear the same boots but tie them up in way to increase ankle support.
Spain
Spain has issued triple buckled boots manufactured by Segarra. Fully laced up boots became generic from 84-86, It seems that the 80s have been here thousand different types of boots … vibram sole or Panama, buckles and laces, eyelets or speedlace, etc., etc. However there were three known “models”, namely:
- Boot “regular” – which was the road with uniform instruction and campaign. Its sole thickness was respectable, and had a fixation tronillos. In principle, and unless “exclusives” was always, by default, the smooth soles fell into disuse over time, leaving only the model instruction and campaign.
- Boot “to walk” – which was basically and fundamentally, the same boot that used in the field, but with a twist differentiating remarkable: since a boot to wear on the street, and therefore, to walk on flat floor, the sole was quite thinner lacked tacos and was more “light” because it was a shoe for the soldier on the street “andase comfortable”, and was not recociesen feet … at least in summer. It was known more “vulgar” and floor light.
- Boot paratrooper – As its name suggests and defines, was a boot exclusive to paratrooper units. It lacked the issue triple bucksbuckes (for obvious reasons …. trying to jump in not providing the strings or winds bell parachute could get dangerously hooked on them), which was slightly higher than normal three buckles for, among other things, give the game shin-ankle-foot extra support, all of which reinforced toe and heel.
This would be the existing general approach in the late seventies and early eighties. For this reason, Segarra plunged into great problems of various kinds, preventing deliveries regularly meet and boots supply contract with the Ministry of Defense, which and given the situation, this eventually led to the closure of the same-had to find another alternative provider, serving as its choice on the industrial firm Imipiel. Except small details differentiating Imipiel boots were supplied, in principle, a carbon copy of the previous aesthetic Segarra, including the aspect of the sole although this was not screwed so much so that, at a distance, the simple observation of the same, gave the feeling of being wrong indeed be traditional Segarra. Unlike these, the bill turned out to be poorly made Imipiel boots, since it opened and took off with relative ease and in a short time, greatly shorten its life, a detail that was not lost on the charge-charge of the Ministry of Defense, responsible for assessing and managing this type of equipment.
An attempt to improve these boots, Imipiel, aesthetically similar to the old Segarra they replaced was withdrawing sole change their tacos and incorporating Panama type soles with idea to fix the problem of debonding as not liking the Ministry’s action raised-but accepting lesser circumstantially as parallel studies were initiated for the final adoption of a new model boot, and other new concept, being made primitiivo or original boot the current model of education and campaign, which, as is well known, has no triple buckles and full roped covering up the rod, as in a former paratrooper styled boot it were, having been several manufacturers of these boots, including Iturri and Vidal.
United Kingdom and Commonwealth
In late World War I, the standard Ammunition boots were replaced from 1917 to 1918 with the high-lacing calf-length Field Service Boots for service in the trenches to combat trench foot.
The British Army introduced the DMS (Direct Moulded Sole) ankle boot in 1958. This had a moulded plastic sole and was externally similar to the World War Two Ammo Boot. However, as the leather was of shoddy quality at best, the boots leaked and could not be made satisfactorily water-resistant. The low sideless tongue also allowed water to get in over the top of the foot. Once water had got into the boot, it would evaporate through the top of the boot but not through the plastic sole, thereby keeping the foot wet and accelerating trench-foot. Although mesh insoles were issued to combat this, they were themselves fragile and could lead to ‘burning’ of the sole of the foot, with the result that most soldiers used commercially available sports-shoe insoles instead. This type of boot continued in service until the mid-1980s, after its unsatisfactory characteristics became a matter of public concern owing to the severe cases of trench-foot incurred during the Falklands War. The DMS boot was worn with anklets or wind-around puttees.
The immediate successor of the DMS boot was the “Boot, Combat High” – or as the soldiers themselves described it, the Boot Cardboard Horrible. Basically little more than a toecapless DMS boot extended up to mid-calf length, it was scarcely better than its predecessor. Theoretically waterproofed, it was therefore sweaty and unpleasant, and could cause acute tendinitis. A MkII version was introduced to solve this, but found little favour. Its only real advantage was that it was not supposed to be ‘bulled’ to a mirror shine.
The Combat Assault Boots (CAB) are still current issue and are used primarily for combat training and general service although privately purchased boots are often deemed acceptable as long as they are made of black leather. The Foot Guards still use modified ammunition boots. These boots, being primarily made of leather, can be brought to a high shine for the ceremonial purpose, although boots used as every-day military footwear tend to be left comparatively dull, but clean.
Various levels of shine can be achieved with CAB. However, when on exercise (in the field) or on operations, soldiers are only required to shine their boots to combat high.
Jungle boots supplied by various manufactures are also commonly worn in barracks due to the ability to carry out loaded marches faster and for longer.
From 2012 Armed Forces personnel will have a newly designed range of brown combat boots to replace the black and desert combat footwear they currently wear. Personnel will have the choice of five different boots depending on where they are based and what role they are in.
- Desert Combat worn by dismounted troops conducting medium to high levels of activity in desert type environments with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
- Desert Patrol worn by drivers/armoured troops conducting lower levels of activity in desert type environments exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
- Temperate Combat worn by dismounted troops for medium to high levels of activity in temperate (European) climates.
- Patrol worn by mounted troops (drivers/armoured troops) taking part in lower levels of activity in temperate (European) climates.
- Cold Wet Weather worn by dismounted troops for medium to high levels of activity in temperatures down to – 20 degrees Celsius.
Each of the five boot types comes in two different styles, so personnel can wear whichever one is more comfortable for them. The new brown boots, which have been developed to match the MTP uniform worn by Service personnel, will be made in two different fittings designed for the first time to take account of the different shapes of men and women’s feet. The current black boots will carry on to be worn with most non-camouflage uniforms as well as units on parade in full dress uniform, such as regiments performing ceremonial duties in central London.
United States
The first true modern combat boots in the US Army, officially titled “Boots, Combat Service”, were introduced in conjunction with the M-1943 Uniform Ensemble during World War II. They were modified service shoes, with an extended, rough-out or, more commonly, a smooth leather high-top cuff added. The cuff was closed using two buckles, allowing the boots to replace the existing service shoes and leggings worn by most soldiers with a more convenient and practical solution. The boots, and the service shoes they were made from, had a one piece sole and heel, made from molded synthetic or reclaimed rubber. These “double buckle” boots were worn through the Korean War as a substitute for the Boots, Russet, Leather Lace Up introduced in 1948. The first type of Combat Boots, or Combat Tropical boots were based on the “buckle boot” design and worn during the early parts of the Vietnam War.
In 1957, the US Army switched to shined black combat boots, although the transition to black boots was not completed until late in the Vietnam War, which also saw the introduction of the jungle boot. Both of these boots had a direct molded sole. The jungle boot had a black leather lower and an olive drab nylon upper. Black boots continued to be worn following Vietnam, with the M81 BDU, although non-shine boots were considered by the Army. As the BDU was replaced with the MCCUU, Army Combat Uniform, and Airman Battle Uniform the services transitioned to more practical, non-shine footwear. The only current military service mandating shined black combat boots are the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps, the Auxiliary Cadet Detachment of the Naval forces, and the Civil Air Patrol, the Auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, in conjunction with the BDU utility uniform.
As the United States Marine Corps transitioned from its utility uniform to the MCCUU, they discarded shined black combat boots, and switched to more functional tan rough-out (non-shine) combat boots, with either hot weather or temperate weather versions. The standard-issue boot is the Belleville 500 Waterproof USMC combat boot. Commercial versions of this boot are authorized without limitation other than they must be at least 8Â inches in height and bear the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on the outer heel of each boot. By 2012 these will be replaced by 2 variants (waterproof and hot weather) of the Danner RAT (Rugged All-Terrain) boot, which uses a combination of nylon, rough-out suede, and smooth synthetic leather in its construction.
The United States Army followed suit in 2002 with the introduction of the Army Combat Uniform, which also switched to tan rough-out combat boots, called the Army Combat Boot, and cotton socks. Commercial versions of this boot are authorized without limitation other than they must be at least 8 inches in height and are no longer authorized to have a ‘shoe-like’ appearance. Two versions exist, a 2.5 lb temperate weather boot, and a 2 lb hot weather (desert) boot. Current manufacturers are Altama, Bates, Belleville Boot, McRae, Rocky, Warson Brands/Converse and Wellco.
