My Blog 5.12. MY MILITARY BOOT DESIGN IDEA

I just had an idea for a new boot.

It would have steel toes and soles and it would be waterproof with lots of ankle support. 

It would have lots of traction. 

But that is were the run of the mill norm would end.

My boot would have a sole with track grips that could configured to the needs of the wearer, and the little track blocks could be used as a fuel for a fire.
Different scents could be built into the little track blocks, that could be released to confuse dogs... rabbit,cat, skunk, each with a different scent, to throw of dogs.

This would be useful if the wearer were to be tracked, as the tracker would be following one track design, and if the track design were to be constantly changed by the wearer, that could become very confusing for the tracker. 

Also the inside of the boot would have inflatable insoles for comfort and bounce.
This would also aide the wearer in swimming with the boot on, as it would actually give flotation, for swimmers that were not so strong!

As my boot would be completely waterproof, it would need to have tubes inserted along the sides, up the ankle. As the wearer took a step the inflatable insole would compress and air would be expelled out from the interior and from the toes. 

But as the wearer lifts his foot to take the next step. 

This would suck fresh air into the interior of the boot, aerating the feet which would help stop fungal infections, and increasing the comfort factor for the foot, leading to less foot fatigue. 

The boot would have a built in flint for fire starting and a special lace for bow drills or raft tying, part of the boot could actually be designed to be unraveled, for strong cordage.
Other survival equipment could be built in, such as fishing hooks or lours or needles for sewing or stitching wounds.
