Combat boots are a type of military product. Every pound of weight and material on military boots are designed and used based on the requirements of the battlefield and the requirements of combat; Moreover, after years of development, the technology of military boots has become very mature and increasingly targeted in the combat environment.

Jungle and desert boots are all designed for outdoor environments, with a focus on climbing and grip stability, as well as flexibility after being exposed to mud. Specifically, the large tooth sole of the US military boots, known as the "Panama Polo" sole, has a large and deep tooth groove that gives them good grip. At the same time, after being exposed to mud, the mud blocks quickly fall off due to the large spacing between the teeth. But this type of boot sole wears out quite quickly on hard ground, such as cement or hard ground, even military boots. The boots of Western armies are mostly large toothed soles. On the other hand, our military boots have dense and fine soles that are not easily peeled off after being stained with mud, which is truly lacking in argumentation.

Due to the fact that the environment for special police missions is far less harsh than that of the military, and the procurement volume is much less than military boots, the cost requirements are not as high as military boots. Therefore, many police boots have sponge lining to increase comfort, and the upper of the boots is not as tight as military boots. The purpose is to protect the ankle while ensuring maximum flexibility, enabling special police members to comfortably perform tactical movements such as kneeling and squatting positions. In addition, many special police tasks are sudden, so the convenience of wearing is also considered in the design. Many police boots are equipped with zippers on the side.
