The Jimmy Choo of Combat Boots

Okay, so if you are anyone who knows me you know that I love shoes. As Army regulations state (and for safety reasons) I must wear combat boots with my uniform no exceptions! Let's all say this together now, "Thanks, Uncle Sam!". Well, I have found this new desert combat boot that I call the jimmy choo of combat boots. They are made by Oakley actually. They are tan with really cool soles and look a lot like a hiking boot. They have been priced at between 125 and 250 US dollars! When I actually bought them I was in the store a while looking around. I tried several pairs on to make sure they were not too tight and not to loose, but just right. The retired military man who was in charge of supply at the time was friendly and told me about the cousin of a brother of a civil war veteran discount. Okay, totally untrue, but the fact is that they do price match. He gave me to hint at which price I should be asking for them, and I walked out of there with my new jimmy choo-esque combat boots for the price of $108 (and no tax, b/c I'm military). I can't tell much of a difference between the comfort levels among the boots, but who cares when they look that good and you get them for a great price;)
