As the name implies,
army boots are boots designed for the army's use. Army boots span a fairly wide spectrum in that there are desert boots, jungle boots, tanker boots, ammunition boots, EOD boots, and many other specialized categories of boots designed for different military needs.
The material used in the making of
army boots, its height, ventilation pattern, lacing system, and a host of other things will vary based on the climate and function for which various models are designed. Nevertheless, army also lays down some general rules on the type of boots that can be worn with ACU or army combat uniform. One of these is that cattle hide leather has to be used in the manufacture of all types of
army boots. Though the leather industry produces leather out of a variety of animals like pigs, goats, alligators, kangaroos, and ostriches, none of these are allowed in
army boots.
The height of
army boots is kept between 8" and 10" and sole thickness is not kept more than 2". No
army boots design will allow the sole material to extent over the toe or project over the heel area. Polyurethane and rubber are the materials used for outsole in
army boots and these are used in different combinations in boots designed for various terrains. Both these are very durable and are the best available materials for giving good traction on slippery or steep surfaces.
The upper of
army boots will be of complete leather, or of a combination of leather and nylon. Nylon is mainly used in jungle boots. Mesh is not generally used for the upper because no material that is not flame resistant is recommended for the making of the upper of
army boots. Because of that, soldiers are not allowed to wear certain types of desert boots even if they are otherwise comfortable.
Though most types of
army boots are laced ones, there are exceptions like tanker boots where leather straps are used for fastening. However, Velcro inserts are not used in
army boots. Likewise, plastic cleats and metal cleats on the soles are not allowed for soldiers use. So, even where a pair of boots is otherwise comfort wear and suitable for any specific terrain, it is not used as
army boots if it has got cleats of either plastic or metal.
Two types of
army boots, namely army combat boots or ACB for hot season, and ACB for temperate conditions are a must for soldiers. Though army issues boots to its soldiers, there are also many models of commercial off the shelf boots that satisfy the regulations of
army boots. Soldiers are allowed to use any of these according to their aesthetic preferences.
While the army lays down certain restrictions on the type of boots soldiers can use, civilians have no restrictions on wearing
army boots. Since the army has specialized boots for use in mountains, desert, swamps etc. these come in very handy for civilians who have to move about in such rough terrains either as part of their adventurous hobbies or as part of their duties. Army boots are also fashionable wear among many ordinary people and some special subculture groups.

An ever increasing number of military servicemen and officers are taking up army kit insurance cover. Before the advent of such army kit insurance cover, military life for many soldiers was fraught with unspoken anxiety, as one had to live with the knowledge of the fact that they were fully responsible for their army kit, and would have to pay for it were it to get lost or damaged in one way or another. This was an anxiety-inducing thought, as the cost of army kit can be rather high, often running into thousands of pounds (think several months’ pay) for the whole kit.
Then came army kit insurance. By taking up such army kit insurance, a soldier can live with the peace of mind of knowing that they are covered (at least financially speaking) in the event of their losing their army kit in one way or another. Army kit insurance is one of the specialized military insurance products, alongside military life insurance and personal accident insurance cover (also referred to as pa insurance) which were greeted with the most enthusiasm by both servicemen and officers in all branches of the military. The enthusiasm with which military insurance products like military life insurance like army kit insurance and pa insurance covers were met with led to the growth of specialized military insurance providers like Abacus, which was among the pioneers. Today, as more and more companies offering military insurance products spring up, many soldiers are finding themselves spoilt for choice on which provider to opt for, and what criteria to use in sorting through the various products on offer, as they all look so similar. Here then are three important factors to consider, when you are shopping for army kit insurance.
1. The cost structure of the cover: Taking any form of insurance cover is seen as a serious financial commitment, and military insurance is no exception. You need to carefully consider the cost of the army kit insurance cover you are taking, and see how that fits into your overall budget. You also need to ensure that the premiums you pay for your army kit insurance cover compare favorably with the benefits you stand to get in the event of your losing or having your army kit damaged. Of course, don’t approach your army kit insurance cover shopping with cost as the only shopping criteria as such an approach often blinds you to other important factors. Simply put, the cheapest is not always the best, though cost is still an important consideration. In looking at the cost, you will also need to consider other elements that are not explicitly mentioned, like annual fees for example. Some army kit insurance providers charge such fees (in addition to the normal premiums) whereas others don’t charge such fees. You need to look at such fees as implicit costs, as they still have to be paid for ultimately.
2. The benefit-structure of the cover: Alongside the cost structure of the army kit insurance product you are considering taking up, you also need to consider its benefit-structure. This often involves combing through the fine print carefully, looking for catches. Some of the questions you might ask include whether the army kit insurance cover only covers for lost army kit – or whether it also includes damaged military kit for example. You might also want to know whether the army kit insurance comes with worldwide coverage – or whether the coverage is only local (keeping in mind the ever-present possibility of being called up overseas duty).
3. The product provider: You also need to carefully examine (and compare) military insurance providers providing army kit insurance before committing yourself to one. Some of the things to look at in an army kit insurance provider include their experience (you might, for example consider going for an experienced army kit insurance provider like Abacus, or opt for the relatively newer, less experienced providers), the track record of the army kit insurance provider, and of course the financial stability of the insurance provider you are considering committing yourself to. You might also consider looking at what other products (besides army kit insurance) they offer, and how these other products might appeal to you. As it were, it is often better to get all your military insurance products from one insurer, as they often given great ‘discounts’ for multiple purchases. A company like Abacus for example, offers army kit insurance at greatly reduced rates if it taken alongside personal accident insurance (pa insurance) cover.
