this boot is great but not for dismounted patrols in afghanistan. this specific boot was intended for the fobbit. not for outside the wire, not for light infantry.

Jason,

Thanks for the response. When the Nike Free first came out, I went ahead and purchased a pair for running but was still nervous about the lack of ankle support and the thin sole was downright uncomfortable. However, I appreciate the science behind the shoe. Perhaps it’s just that I’ve done enough damage to my ankles over the years through sports that I need the additional support.

I enjoy reading your analysis of your training . Sounds like you will be well-prepared for most any situation. We keep you in our prayers. Can you say ‘hugs and blessings’ to all of you willing to “put yourselves out there” for us?

Interesting post on the new boots. If you look into the why? behind the Nike Free line of products it come from the idea that the vast majority of injuries come from weak ankles and feet that are a product of over designed shoes. Arch support, ankle support, over-pronator support, etc. all lead to weakening of the intrinsic greatness that is your own body. The sports medicine evidence strongly supports this concept. Who knows though? These same “experts” suggest running barefoot every day. Perhaps they are crazy. I would be interested to hear your experience after a month or so of wearing the boots.

Maybe if you had Special Forces feet the boots might work for you.
