RIP to Chips?
The Chippewa Special Forces Mountain Boot, is, sadly, no longer manufactured, at least for the civilian community - it is not on the Chippewa site nor the Justin site. If you have a pair, keep them in good shape - they are expensive to resole (that 4 layer, leather, board, leather, vibram - sewn, nailed and screwed sole will last a long time) but I've never heard of anybody going through the upper withanything short of a charge or a very sharp object (there is the axe story, and the demo Xtrain story - ahh, later).
Any current 10th guys want to chime in? Are they still issued?
I hope you guys don't still get Hanwegs and Ramers - they were tired when I was there. another story about the guy who used to wear his Hanwegs with civvies to look cool(?) didn't last long for some reason.
