Military is one such department of any state that receives a general liking from the public. This probably owes to the nature of their work. The most relevant embodiment of patriotism, the mere idea that they die on the borders to give us a peaceful life is commendable and even lovable. 
Life of a soldier isn’t a bed of roses. They are trained and deployed into areas that require tough nerves. One of the most important needs of a soldier is his boots. A soldier’s basic need is a pair of tough, sturdy, and compatible footwear that can carry him in the most roughest of terrains. Military boots are made up of strong and durable material owing to the nature of their use. Some of the famous brands for military boots are Danner, Reebok, Rocky, and Garmont etc. and their shoes range between Rs. 7000 to 40,000. 
Boots have been worn by soldiers since the age of Ancient Assyrians and Romans as a regular part of military apparel. At first, they consisted of only soft leather and sometimes pieces of animal bones as togs. In English Civil War, soldiers were issued three pairs of thick, soft leather ankle boots with rawhide soles and leather straps to keep them tied on. After that, from 1660 to the 1800’s, military boots were very similar to civilian shoes, containing buckles rather than ties. From the mid 1800’s until the start of World War I, in 1914, armed forced employed the used of Hessian style boots, which were taller, almost knee length, and snug around the calf with a buckle on the back of the leg. Since the 1980’s, many countries have gone to more practical, stealthier and comfortable boots that are waterproof and can survive in the most inconvenient of circumstances.
