Most standard issue military boots are crap and new designs is going towards the hiking boot (the new British ones for example).
I'm pretty sure most soldiers will chose a civilian alternative if they can, and if you look at SF/SOF you'll basically only see civilian boots like asolo, salomon, merrell, meindl etc.
>Most hiking boots when they get wet inside. Take FOREVER to dry.

Lundhags boots are popular for mountain hiking here in Sweden as it's quite wet, also used by the military. Bottom part is waterproof and they dry fast.
