    Only when I've got my grey face camo on.

    The army got their brown boots. Time to procure some grey boots to complete our rig.

      Draw 1Ltr paint from bosun stores. Specify "hull grey". That's the grey boots sorted, and if you do it well, should put a nice gloss shine on too.
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

          • Brown barrack boot to be rolled out in the NS after next contract begins. Shore based use only.

            Black steel toecap boot to remain for shipborne use.

            Will make it easier to ensure correct safety footwear is worn onboard.

              Worn with IP-DPM or NSV?

              If NSV that is gonna look Gank.

                The NSR have to return their IP-DPM as well as GDR when transitioning to NSV. I can't speak to the PDF scale of issue.

                If the NS does go the brown boot route, I suspect there will be no rush to issue to the reserve!

                  NSV.

                  The only time NS personnel will wear A-DPM is when deploying overseas with a Battalion.

                  A few NS NCOs in KFOR at present wearing the brown boot (with NSV DPM), looks fine.

                    Makes sense, use up the existing black barrack boot stock through the Reserve.

                    That's what happened with the the old blue GDR.

                    Financially good decision.

                    • It will be years before the ns or nsr have brown boots due to the large number black boots in df stock.

                      the plan was nsv dpm wod replace a dpm except where ordered for cse or overseas.

                      the nsr really did not use up a lot of gdr stock, lots goi g to be struck off charge

                        Fully aware when the NS will wear Irish Pattern DPM (IP-DPM). Thanks. Brown boots with a mainly grey uniform is still not better than the black no matter what way you spin it. More DoD penny pinching.Simple as.

                        Oh. BTW by “A DPM” I Assume you meant Army? A misnomer. It’s IP - DPM, as all branches wear it. Not just the Army.

                            You did say IP or NSV earlier!.

                            Will be interesting to see if the Air Corps follow suit with their own version.

                                There a few photos from KFOR up on the socials today. A well know SCPO with brown boots on show.

                                I don't think they look terrible but black definitely better.

                                Not sure what the popular opinion is but I think black looks better on IP-DPM too....
