Boondockers! Beautiful work, they look great and exactly like the original. I was issued a pair of these when I first joined the Navy in the 90s. They were not much for arch or ankle support, but they worked for their intended use. About a year later I was issued the updated version, which looks more like a combat boot, in that it laced up above the ankle and had a different sole and inserts. They were much more comfortable while working constantly on steel decks.
