I'm looking for a pair of inexpensive (~$30) surplus US Army combat boots, size 9. I've checked Ralph's, Broadway Army Nave, and the other Army Navy store right up the street from Broadway. All have those crap "Vietnam Combat Boots" made in China but, among other bad points, the soles on those buggers are so hard they're almost useless on a wet surface. Plus, I'd like to get an all-leather boot. Broadway has the type of boot I'm looking for but they didn't have my size and aren't sure when they'll be getting another shipment. Does anyone have any other ideas where I can look? Thanks, Dennis Ciplickas dennis@ece.cmu.edu P.S. BTW, I've have had great success at Broadway Army Navy finding and/or ordering outdoor clothes. Mark Schermer and Chris (forgot his last name) are the most helpful folks I've found in Pittsburgh for this stuff. -- Dennis Ciplickas Email: dennis@ece.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon University, ECE Phone: (412) 268-4975 5000 Forbes Avenue FAX: (412) 268-6662 Pittsburgh, PA 15213
