Hiya,
I wear boots, as they support your ankle, give grip and are overall much better than a shoe for support and shoes can be lost on occasions in a scuffle.

I am assuming that when you say not allowed to wear certain boots, its probably the safety ones with steel toe caps - a big no no. Other than that I dont see why you anyone would say not to wear boots.

Regards

steels are a no-no - obviously

but i have heard different things about the magnum boots due to the reinforced leather - people have said they can be worn and others say they cant

I wear Grafters and they're really comfortable, support for the ankles a necessity with the hours spent on your feet.

I don't like magnums at all, just don't find them comfortable. Have a look at the Original SWAT boots at Gladstone Boots Home I have the SWAT air side zips and the SEK 9000s.

I will never wear a pair of magnums again, these are so very much better.

KEVTHEMED will become famous soon enough
Danner acadia for me, really comfy and give loads of support, the gucci insole forces you to stand upright so no back ache from slouching.
bit pricey but if your going to invest in anything invest in boots.

Look at the LOWA boot, they have a half boot ankle fit in black, looks chunky but very light expensive but endures longer than the magnum and won't split on the heel. Foot specialists recommend this boot to soldiers with ankle problems.
