Thanks!

**EDIT** Nevermind, I was looking in the wrong section. I was looking under:
Home > Military Uniforms and Accessories > Footwear
They are found in:
Home > Military Uniforms and Accessories > Tactical Store > Boots
Sure enough, they are avail in Black and desert for $99 plus free shipping. Good tip. Thanks!


FWIW, my favorites for field use are the Garmont T8's. $120 for Desert Sand or $99 w/ free shipping for Coyote tan right now @ Extreme Outfitters. Type in code anysoldier for 10% (if mil anyways). Sizing is... different. I am 10W in issue Altamas, 11.5 in most running shoes and 11.5 in Nike SFB's. I wear 12W in Garmont T8's though. They also have them at Yadkin Boots outside Bragg for $130 plus tax.

I prefer to use the ball bearing eyelet, but skip the reg eyelet underneath it. I also swap out the laces for gutted 550 cord.

Was just about to reply, saw you found them. Good deal. I actually ordered them through one of the online mall vendors at first, but quickly cancelled when I found them coming directly from AAFES.
