I am reading a lot about the RU logistical nightmare during the current war in UA. With all those additional hundreds of thousands of troops being mobilized, it seems they cant even afford to properly equip the ones already on the warfare. I have even seen soldiers that are wearing sneakers instead of combat boots.
My question is, why does it matter? Especially in a warmer months. Why cannot all soldiers just wear the “trail running” shoes or basic “hiking shoes”. How can it be that worse then proper military boots? Cannot it be even better, since it is usually lighter and more comfortable?

Hiking boots are better quality than combat boots. That’s why so many of us have foot problems when we’re out.
The military does the cheapest options for us, and after I got out and became a hiker, I saw that hiking boots are better quality.
Plus I’ve rolled my ankle several times in combat boots, but never in hiking boots.
Prior Marine Corps infantry for all those wondering
