>PMFJI, but that (ammo boots) sounds more like the work boot, rather then the combat boot. Work boots are what mechanics had to wear in the shop, in the army, they are steel-toed boots for protecting the feet. Ammo handlers may have to wear them also, because of the possiblity of a crate of ammo or single round falling and getting them in the foot.

Thanks Beth. Makes sense. BTW, we also call them "Toe-tectors"
