BrianZ06 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Does anyone know anything about these rubber boots ? I only paid 5 bucks for them. Cheap ass right. Anyway they fit me pretty good and they look to be well made with some type of inner insulation. I thought they would be good for snow and water protection. They look like they have been worn one time and then put away. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/2012-10-08_18-35-19_419.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/2012-10-08_19-22-42_107.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/2012-10-08_18-34-24_589.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Those are Mickey Mouse boots. One of 3 great innovations put into use from the Korean war. The other two being the flack jacket and Helo assault. There should be a air valve or stem on them somewhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_boots Should you decide you don't want them, please let me know. For that boot, that's my size.

stangsn95gt Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Joe beat me to it, I see them for sale on sportsmansguide every now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the info Joe and if I decide I do not like them I will pass them on to you. I also got a nice heavy duty tacky green jacket and some nautica marine drill pants today. Both like new never worn. When ever I am in the area and have time I stop in the Volunteers of America store on henderson rd. Never know what you might find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93fox Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 They do NOT cost $5 while you're in the service. That's for damn sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer427X3 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Those boots are warm and waterproof but do not let moisture in or out so theres no place for sweat to go. If you use them take extra pairs of dry socks. My dad's Marine unit borrowed some of these from the Army during the Korean War. He was a Navy Corpsman ( USMC gets their medics from the Navy) and he told me treated trenchfoot and foot funk cases when no dry socks were around and you wore them for a long time .

BrianZ06 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Not going to wear them that much. Thought they would be good just to have around the home or at work when it gets real nasty out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
