Way too many things for a Marine to try and remember each morning....

Too many hours wasted each day in re-training how to put on boots!

They are "Double H." I found some for sale at Age2Shop.com, though I bought mine several years ago at a mall store.

Rex, you could get a pair of these for bad days...

Oops, can't get the link to post. Just go to Brigade Quartermasters and search for Matterhorn Tanker.

There are also plenty of black options.

Yup, the ones on the left are just what I have.

Lots of good suggestions. I'll add two more.

Danner Special Forces Recon boots are very highly rated and expensive, but they have that certain all-business look and feel that I like. Suggests the wearer knows a thing or two and is prepared to step up to the plate when it comes to footwear.

An alternative to the boot Rex introduced above in this thread, without the strap and much less than the Special Forces boot shown above is the Rocky Zipper Paraboot. It has an all-business look about it as well.
