Everyone needs a solid black leather combat boot. Whether you're using them at work, in the outdoors or simply as fashion these US military surplus boots will walk the walk.

The Speed-Lace Combat Boot was introduced in the 1980s. With improvements in footwear technology, the US military sought to give its servicemen enhanced performance when in the field no matter the environment. The design focused on improving durability, comfort, and ease of use, leading to the implementation of the speed lace system. This system allowed for quicker and more secure lacing compared to traditional eyelet systems.

US Speed-Lace Boots are constructed with materials that provided resistance to mildew and water, addressing common issues faced by soldiers in wet and humid conditions. The direct molded sole (DMS) technology ensures that the sole is directly attached to the boot's upper without the use of stitching, enhancing durability and reducing the risk of sole separation.

Over time, the USGI Speed-Lace Combat Boots underwent several updates and improvements to meet evolving military requirements. Variants included different sole patterns for improved traction and different upper materials for enhanced breathability and comfort. All variants are included in this listing.

Sizing Guide

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
