You definately want to take well broken in boots to SFAS...

There isnt a CIF for you to specifically draw boots from for SFAS. You should be issued boots from a CIF when you come into the Army though. You can wait for that or purchase a couple pairs of the approved boots and send them to Clark's Boot Repair (referenced here many times) at Ft Bragg for resoling. Either the #6 or #9 sole is my recommendation (also referred to as the SFAS or SOPC special.) They will also remove the heel and toe cups if ya want making them more like a pair of slippers.
