[[File:Tropas vigiam Alegrete - RS (9919275913).jpg|thumb|right|250px|]] '''Combat boots''' are [[military]] boots designed to be worn by [[soldier]]s during combat or combat training. They are not intended for wear during [[parade]]s and other ceremonial duties. Modern combat boots are designed to provide a combination of grip, ankle stability, and foot protection suitable for a rugged environment. They are traditionally made of hardened and sometimes waterproofed [[leather]]. Today, many combat boots incorporate technologies originating in civilian hiking boots, such as [[Polytetrafluoroethylene|Gore-Tex]] nylon side panels, which improve ventilation and comfort. They are also often specialized for certain climates and conditions, such as jungle boots, desert boots, and cold weather boots as well as specific uses, such as tanker boots and jump boots.
