First time I have heard of this after seeing a segment on Beck. I'm sure there are Arfcommers out here willing to "put your boots on" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr4h6BcsunI |
|
they need more info on the boots. I just bought new boots so for 129 bucks it's a no go. Id rather contribute directly to a charity. not a bad idea though.

i hate seeing assholes with xxl shirts on and baggy jeans, then instead of timberlands i see fucking bates. yeah yeah people can dress how they want but if youre gonna wear military boots, wear them proudly and dont look like a dbag.
|
|
can we get a range report on the quality of these boots? when the shtf and its FO time are these boots going to hold together?
im pretty sure the government got to Glenn and now he is trying to help them make sure that we are ill prepared and have poor quality gear so that when SHTF we wont make it.... Damn you Comrade Beck, damn you but anyhoot, they look like nice boots and I think i might have to buy a pair... always good to donate to a good cause, and doesn't hurt to get something in return. |

+1
interested to know in the quality and if these are equivalent to the breathable summer mil type boots, a generic maker, etc. They appear to be uninsulated and of decent stitching from the photos; but I'd like to know who makes `em. Maybe that takes away from the "charity" portion - but if I knew the boots were junk then maybe I'd go ahead and donate the $45 only and save myself a crappy pair of boots. |

Quoted: In before the Beck haters. This was just mentioned on Beck... that's all. And beck is a supporter. As is uncle ted...Marcus Lutrell.. and many more. And this is a bump for a great cause. |

Watching the Rangers play last week. . .they had a couple of the gals talking about this project. Pretty doggone cool.

Bates are Military boots? Why does the Bodecker boot truck that comes around to my facility once every 6 months stock them for sale to my civilian workers then? Bates are all I wear on the scrap yard. |

I have worn a pair of my father's Corcorans every single day for the past four years.
I approve this message. |
|
I wear my desert boots to work 2-3 times a week....then again that pair lasted 18+ months in the bad place when i was younger...

Quoted: As promised...here is the information on the boots: Thank you so much for your interest in purchasing our boots to support our troops! I have included some detailed information about our "Boot Campaign" boots, and I hope this answers any questions you may have. . . . EXTRA INFO. ON OUR BOOTS: These boots are not waterproof.. . . . Christina DeLaTorre www.bootcampaign.com I hope that settles things for those of you sitting on the fence.....It's a great program and benefits a great cause. Joe Dammit dammit dammit I need new boots, but I need something waterproof. |
|
At least they aren't the gay ass green ones we are using in the Air Force. I believe they are phasing out the desert tan ones in another year or so.
I have several sets of tan boots, so I am good to go. |
|
I'll be getting a new pair soon but need waterproof here too, northeast weather.

This idea was conceived in good spirit.
This idea is tacky in execution. |

Bates are all I wear on the scrap yard. The grounds staff at the University of Alabama are all issued Bates, last I heard. So, obviously we've got a lot of douchebags running loose with military boots. |

I saw these a couple of days ago and went ahead and placed and order. I'll post a "range report" after I get them.

I like this campaign, although I think I'd chuckle a little if I saw a guy walking around in public with his jeans tucked into his boots like shown in the pictures. Since I wouldn't actually be wearing these in combat (or other scenario whereby tucking the pants into the boots would be necessary), I'd just wear my pants OVER the boots - but maybe that's just me.
This kind of reminds me of the 'Livestrong' campaign with the yellow rubber bracelets everyone used to wear (and some still do). Unfortunately, this is a lot more expensive for most people to jump on and participate in. |

Lace the damn things up. They look like a sad sack rag bag with their boots like that. I like the idea of showing support but wear them properly. |

It's an add, they want you to see the entire boot, there is nothing wrong with the way they are shown Sometimes you have to look further than your nose |

There is nothing wrong with the way they are shown. To each his own I suppose. IMO if you want to honor a particular group of people by choosing to wear their uniform items, you should choose to wear them properly. If they decided to wear berets like this, I would be equally perturbed. http://www.fbuch.com/images/korda_che.jpg Sir, You have years of inculcation to attune you to the smallest of threads hanging off uniforms. Please don't kill any civilians over unlaced boots. |

Wearing the way it's supposed to be worn is showing respect. Wearing it like that just looks like someone trying to be all hip hop and cool. |

I didn't get a hip hop, gangbanger, hoodrat or urban goblin refrence out of it at all Do you geet all bent out of shape because some of the boots are too big for some of the models? It looks like an add campaign it support's the USO and the Lone Survivor Foundation If you look on the website and see who is endorsing these boots you might figure it out without jumping to conclusions or putting more into it that is not there They are trying to show off the boots, nothing more and nothing less If they had them is Steel Toes I would buy a pair |
