I need help with combat boots
I'm in the market for some combat boots to wear with my kilts on weekends and also to wear when the weather turns lousy, like today.
While I love you all dearly and appreciate your concern for my feet, please save the "Save up and spend $180" responses. I want to buy army surplus, and I want to pay army surplus prices. If I buy another pair in two years, so be it. I'm out $50. I won't be wearing them often enough to justify spending big money.
I'm finding lot of black leather GI-style combat boots for $40-$50. That would fit the bill nicely. Problem is, I'm just 5-8. I'm concerned the classic 10" combat boot will go too far up my leg and my hose will get lost.
The only 8" boots I'm seeing are a combination of leather and canvas/nylon, and I'd really prefer leather. I just think they look cooler.
Questions:
1) Am I wrong about the boots? Should I even be worried about hose?
2) Does anyone know of a website with black leather 8" boots? Google isn't as helpful as I might like.
