>though combat boots made from velour leather
literally more flexible than my crocs.
Whenever I see army gays I just feel sad.
Think about how many of them I could kill with superior equipment and experience.
Must feel like a German WW2 soldier with an StG42 when a horde of red russian homeless people are rushing him with one bullet each.
I've worn combat boots since I was 14. Jungle boots, walmart specials, you name it. Only downside is it permanently removes your leg hair between your ankles up to the top of the boot. But I'd never go back.
There's actually a lot of variety in military style boots. Standard issue combat boots are typically garbage though, designed to be made as cheaply as possible while offering the bare minimum level of functionality. They're supposed to look modest as uniform items, but also be used for every conceivable scenario while failing to do any of them effectively. Plenty of reputable manufacturers will have more optimized offerings though. Some are steeltoed, some composite toe, or even no toe protection at all. Some lightweight, winterweight. Different tread styles, etc. You'd have to find something that is more tailored to your use-case.
So I guess short answer is that there's too much variation to easily compare to hiking boots. If you want the most direct comparison then you'd have to try a combat boot that is more optimized for rucking.
they have rigid soles, low shock absorption, and inhibit ankle movement. all of these things will decrease your speed and comfort level when walking on trail, but will increase your speed and comfort when walking off trail. most combat boots do not have steel toe caps. combat boots are great for carelessly powering through thick foliage, mud, and shallow rivers (obstacles you would likely circumvent or approach with caution when wearing regular hiking boots). the ankle support provided by combat boots decreases the likelihood of severe injury caused by tripping or falling - which can be a reassuring if youre walking at night, in an area with lots of holes in the ground, or over uneven ground obscured by high grass. combat boots are frequently unpadded or unlined on the inside - which when combined with their sturdy construction can cause blisters and ripped skin, especially in brand new boots that haven't been broken in properly. jungle boots (or hot weather boots as they are also known) are a subset of breathable non-waterproof combat boots that permit ingress and egress of water via permeable fabrics and drainage vents. jungle boots don't inhibit ankle movement like all leather combat boots, and aren't suitable for cold weather.
on the basis of comfort, i recommend buying this

yes, combat boots that aren't tactical because than you will never change them
Yes, a good pair of logger boots.
i have never worn combat boots. Are they steelcapped? Also, what qualities do combat boots have over regular hiking boots? Is there a difference?
They comfy. If you get some get a pair with side zippers. It's like having hiking boots and camp shoes in one.
>side zippers
If you only plan on wearing them to the mall, sure. Those zippers always pick the worst possible time to blow out.
I haven't had any blow out and I've worn them to the soles in the smokies. Try watching where you step and you won't beat your shoes to shit.

You ain't have to do him like that bruh.
I got those without the composite toe. Very good grip, but feel like they run large.
The 5.11 A/T non zip & 5.11 A.T.A.C 2.0 8" side zip.
yes
Being a good father
Fair enough
Being comfortable in your skin, not caring about opiniated homosexuals on Chinese image board is manlier
b-but, what if I come across this guy on a hiking trail?
Is there anything more gay than tacticool larping?
Getting literally assfricked is less gay.
>more gay than tacticool larping?
Fat people in tacticool LARP gear?
>Getting literally assfricked is less gay.
You would know
Women wear those, too. Issued them, even. So it's off the manly list. Might've made the crossdresser list.
>if women are given something originally intended for men then that thing is no longer manly
That's going to make the list pretty short, my guy
