I didn’t realize the boots industry had drama lmao
Apparently American boot companies lobby to ban their competition. Danner is part of this and they’re Japanese now?
“Those who actually wear the boots know the warfighter has to come before profits and political favoritism. In Washington, that line can blur, since many of the people who once wore the boots now sit in lobbying firms or inside the halls of Congress, shaping the rules.
As retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant MacKay, a Marine Corps special operations veteran with eight overseas deployments, put it:
“If your feet are torn up and you’re halfway through a mission, you’re slower, more vulnerable to infection, and a liability. Why would we even consider taking away that kind of footwear flexibility, especially when the commercial market is willing and able to provide it?”
