Where can I buy surplus combat boots?

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,

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.
