Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The MoD has signed a multi million pound contract for new boots for the Army, Royal Navy and RAF.

Armed Forces personnel will receive a new range of brown combat boots to replace the black and desert combat footwear they currently wear.

As part of a contract worth £80 million, troops will have the choice of wearing five different boots depending on where they are based and what job they are doing. The five types available are:

• Desert Combat – worn by dismounted troops conducting high levels of activity in desert environments exceeding 40 degrees; • Desert Patrol – worn by mounted troops, typically drivers/armoured troops conducting lower levels of activity in desert environments exceeding 40 degrees; • Temperate combat – worn by dismounted troops for high levels of activity in temperate climates; • Patrol – worn by mounted troops, typically drivers/armoured troops conducting lower levels of activity in temperate climates; • Cold Wet Weather – worn by dismounted troops for high levels of activity in temperatures down to – 20C.

Each of the five boot types comes in two different styles, so personnel can wear whichever one is more comfortable for them.
