Fortunately, there are a few American and European military boots around that are pretty good from meindl, zamberlan etc the American ones tend to be either a thick vibram semi stiff sole or a high trail runner type. Remember that soldiers load carry enormous amounts and then may have to drop the load and sprint short distances. Flexibility can be quite important.

Anyone got some New Balance 993 ? I wanted to try those ones too but no luck.
