My Oakley’s boots took a beating in Iraq. I wore them up until my discharge. They had burn marks and even a blood stain. Our butter bar who came to us after deployment told me to go get new boots and not to wear those again. They stayed on my feet for over 2 more years. I earned the condition of those boots and they weren’t going anywhere. I was medically discharged and my boots were in my storage unit along with 90% of my military stuff and was broken into and it was all stolen. When I realized the boots were gone I actually had to fight tears

I was in prior to desert boots (1994-2000). I rocked the Corcoran Field 2 jump boots. Had those resoled 4 times. The leather on the side finally gave out 4 years ago. So, I bought a second pair. 25 years seems to be a decent boot life.

hahahaha, wooooo, dude, 25 years, I had my standard marine infantry corcoran boots for 22 years with two sole changes, my boots was always ready, always aggressive and willing to work, trot, climb and kick ass and also to flee from fights, from death and from the devil hahaha, but my boots was always ready in service to the community too, my boots abandoned me one day at the beach, there were a lot of people and while I was talking with some friends sitting outside the car several huge waves washed away the crowd on the beach, and to the confusion and alarm the people took their things wildly to flee from the water and someone mistakenly took my things including my towel, my radio, my shirt and my beloved boots, poor my boots, always loyal to my cause and perhaps even now surely serving faithful to its new owner, that was 10 years ago, long live to corcoran boots, cheers XD
