Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does AR 670-1 compliant mean?

"AR 670-1" is the U.S. Army regulation that governs uniforms and insignia. For boots, it dictates the exact requirements for color, height, materials, and design that are authorized for wear with the OCP uniform.

Are AR 670-1 boots required to be waterproof?

No. The regulation does not require boots to be waterproof. In fact, many soldiers in hot climates prefer non-waterproof (hot-weather) boots for maximum breathability. We offer both waterproof (GORE-TEX) and non-waterproof compliant options to fit your environment.

Are side-zips or zippers allowed on Army boots?

No. The AR 670-1 regulation explicitly states that boots must be lace-up only. U.S. Army Boots with zippers or any other type of closure are not authorized for wear with the OCP uniform.

Can I wear these boots in the Air Force?

While many of these Army Boots are also compliant with the Air Force AFI 36-2903, we recommend shopping our dedicated U.S. Air Force Boots Collection to be 100% certain your selection is authorized for the USAF.
