The present invention relates to an improvement for a military boots, in particular a motorcyclist's boot

At present, most of the military boots for motorcycling use, to which reference is made here by way of example, use for closing the bottom part of the leg zip fastening systems (called zip fasteners in short), in particular in the zone of the ankles or the heel. Reference may be made, for example, to the documents EP 1,256,286, DE 19523669, DE3204260 for known zip fastening systems. Zip fasteners are generally used to close the boot by moving two flaps or two parts thereof towards each other, resulting in the effect of joining together or closing the two parts of the boot, or adjusting the distance between the two flaps, so as to adapt the boot to the shape of the foot. However a zip fastener is not adjustable, because it is left opened or closed. For the purposes described it is obviously possible to have one or more zip fasteners which are arranged in various configurations and in different closing positions.

Jungle hiking covers many possible terrain types and weather conditions. Footwear for those who take the difficult trails should offer traction and support as well as protection. In the heat even on a dry trail, the inside of a boot or shoe will be soaking wet---so materials that dry quickly are as important as construction that withstands water damage.Backpackers carrying heavy loads should consider wearing military boots . Well made hiking boots with split leather or strong fabric uppers give ankle and arch support but are light enough to dry quickly. Sewn seams will outlive glued seams. Sealed construction that keeps water out will also lock water inside. Boots for jungle trekking should be vented near the sole so water can escape. Sponge insoles quickly come apart in waterlogged conditions. If the shoes provide good arch support, thick socks should be enough padding. Mesh insoles provide an air space and keep feet drier. Boots and shoes with eyes rather than hooks give underbrush less opportunity to snag your feet.

Each of these solutions, however, has the same drawbacks. The zip fasteners are subject to stresses both at the time of closing, when the sliding piece is pulled, and during use, when the tractional forces present in the boot are transmitted to the zip fastener teeth. The reliability and the operating efficiency of the zip fasteners are negatively affected, not only for this reason, but also because of the dirt which inevitably accumulates there, the tactical boots being practically in contact with the ground. Moreover a zip fastener, because of the way in which it is designed, during opening or closing, may only act in one direction and therefore represents a limitation of the boot closing or adjusting devices. It is also not easy, in view of the type of design of the present boots, to replace the zip fastener in the event of breakage, except by unstitching or ungluing parts of the boot. Finally, a zip fastener adjustment system is unable to move the edges of the fastener towards each other by more than the amount which can be obtained with the fastener completely closed. Therefore, the users with a too small or too large foot are at a disadvantage because of the size of the boot, since it is not possible to tighten the latter further once it is worn.

Choose sturdy sandals for easy day hikes on well traveled trails or for river outings. Nonslip soles are crucial---tread should be soft and flexible. Lug patterns hold best in mud. Soles of hard and slick design won't grip slick surfaces like river rocks even if the tread is a lug pattern. Cool and comfortable sandals don't offer much protection against brush or rocks. Pay attention to where you put your feet.Jungle moccasins with breathable uppers and cushioned lug soles could be a good choice for drier trials and light loads. Slip-on styles won't match up to laced construction. Laces allow adjustment as feet swell with the heat and shoes stretch with use. Slip-ons soon get loose and cause blisters. Lightly built insoles absorb less water and weigh less on the trail.

The object of the invention is to obtain military boots , in particular a motorcyclist's boot, which has an easy and safe closing system in the ankle zone and which is not subject to the limitations of closing systems of the zip fastener type.

This object is achieved with a military boots, in particular a motorcyclist's boot, with a leg-piece and closing means for varying the dimensions of the boot in the zone of the heel, characterized in that said closing means comprise at least one elongated part which extends between two sides of the leg-piece above the heel, surrounding it at the rear and is able to be tightened around the heel in an adjustable manner.

Sneakers or shoes designed for urban running are a poor choice for the jungle. Running shoes with soles built for pavement traction often offer very little grip on mud. Choose trail running shoes designed for off-pavement travel. Check the soles for the proper lug tread and flex the shoe to check for good arch support. Soles that flex the full length of the arch offer minimal support. Adding padded insoles only accentuates water problems---less padding is better.

Keeping feet dry is a constant challenge during jungle travel. Waterlogged skin injures easily and both fungal and bacterial infections are common problems. Changing socks during the hike can help, and socks that wick water out of the shoes also reduce foot problems. At camp, open up the hiking shoes and let them dry out overnight. Bring a pair of light camp shoes to wear after the day's hike. Dry out your feet as carefully as your military boots .
