replies: text: Well, we could have more on the history and developement, don't you think? I think it's wise to encourage expanding this article. LL-Raoul 12:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Following sentences appear, not together but, in the same article:
"Although combat boots have a reputation for being uncomfortable and even painful, (this has been improved.)"
"... as the boots are specifically designed to be comfortable to wear in a variety of changing conditions for long durations without significant long-term wear."
First of all, the article needs to cite referenses. Then, the contradictory statements about the comfort of the boots must be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.132.119.52 (talk • contribs) 
: They aren't really contradictory as the first is about their reputation and the second is about design issues. Sources would be nice. // Liftarn
:: Found one from Alfa's director, producer of the norwegian combat boot M/77. "Yes, we get some comments on the boots. They are both loved and hated, and has caused sore feet and profanity by many a soldier over the years. Despite this, there are many who prefer boots because they are better and better the more you use them, says Langum".

thread_title:  Bot report : Found duplicate references ! 

message: The IDF boots in the picture are not the kind used by combat troops.
In addition,the laces are in the wrong way, further demonstrating the fact these belong to a civilian (as shown in the pic below).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.186.55.85 (talk) 05:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  IDF boots 

message: I'm afraid I've had to reassess this down to start.  It fails the modern definition of B1 - the article has unreferenced sections - and it is very difficult to claim comprehensiveness (B2) with the current article structure i.e. you would need sections on a much wider range of armies.  The article could be redesigned to explore the development and design of combat boots using national examples, breaking out detailed new linked articles e.g. on NATO combat boots or US combat boots.Monstrelet (talk) 10:00, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Class reassessment

message: This section is either written by someone unfamiliar with English vocabulary (any sort of English) or translated very poorly directly from some foreign language sourse. The result is largely incomprehensible to a reader with average English comprehension.  I'll attempt to remember to come back by to delete most of the confused verbiage in a little while.
:In addition to the above, the section might contain original research and lacks any citations. Marcello Pas (talk) 17:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that user Ctway  (now blocked) is the original writer of the section. I've found the (probable) source for this section (a spansh forum): http://mundomilitaria.es/foro/index.php?topic=7460.msg85156#msg85156 if someone can translate and verify it.Marcello Pas (talk) 17:49, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a go at the translation and copyedited it.  Hopefully its understandable, though the source isn't any more reliable. Reidgreg (talk) 15:57, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Spain boots

message: Please verify the details in the Singaporean section. I have added in information for the new combat boots (the ACB and the ECB), but I tried not to remove any information that had been there previously. Some of it needs citations, or at least just verification from other people's experiences. Thanks. - Sentimex (talk) 19:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
