hahaha those are the issued boots. I hate them. They are cheap for a reason. Also, they need to be broken in. When you first get them, they are not your average boot. The heel has to hit on the rubber and you have to break it in gradually. Breaking them in in the shower is what I used to do. Maybe the guys can answer better because the tan desert combat boots were never made in mind for the females. They say the old black combat boots were better suited for the females than what they have out now only because they had to rush the production. It was just a few years they finally made Verbattim soles that were approved for the jump schools too.
