GI boots generally suck for field use.
Both Ranger and SF Courses mandate you must wear issue boots.
You can send them to a small shop outside Bragg on Yadkin Road to have them modified for more than the boots cost if you bought them out of Clothing Sales. Your boots remain issue, but lighter, more flexible, and more comfortable, and they don't rot.
Clark's Boot Service and Shoe Repair in Fayetteville can gut the boots (remove the cardboard toe and heel cups, remove the steel shank, and re-sole with Vibram soles, leg leather boots, jungle boots, or desert boots) for $85.00, not counting shipping or mailing back to you.
