My army issue combat boots from 1968 , Those things will never wear out .

They simply don't make them as strong as they used to.

@Wraithorn: Very True , Mine were made for the Jungle / Classed as an ATV boot

There's nothing like good old army mil Specs

...let's see. I got done with active duty in the Marines in 1989... and I still own the steeltoed boots I wore working on the helicopters.

You do the math.

I have a pair of leather army boots which were issued to me at age 18. They are now 29 yrs old. I had them resoled once and they are still strong and usable. They don't make boots like that any more.

1990's.
I bought a pair of trainers from 1998 last month, and I've got some other 90s shoes.
I like retro :)

I've got a 10 year old pair of steel toe boots that are still in fine shape aside from the occasional nick and frayed laces. It's probably because of the blood sacrifice, broke my foot in one of them.
