News flash: Black boots look brown, tan, whatever colour the environment is after wearing them in said environment for 30 minutes. My boots have NEVER given my position away. Between mud, dust, and general rough treatment, my boots were always better cam'd to my environment than my cadpat ever is.

It's another colossal waste of money in the CF; it's what we do best. They're solving a problem that doesn't exist, and ignoring the ones that DO need to get fixed. For any taxpayers out there, I've been issued at least 1600$ worth of boots, and I only wear 2 pairs, and they're the cheapest of the set, at ~200$ a pair. I have 800$ of boots I have to "have" despite them not coming in my size, 2 pairs of 200$ boots fell apart in 2 weeks and I was forced to buy my own for a deployment... And at least 75% of the people I know wear 0$/1000$+ of the boots the've been issued.

The CF are totally retarded when it comes to foot wear.

EDIT: as an aside, I've seen the new boots, they're fugly as sin. We've been trialing them for a couple of years now. They're "alright" for comfort but nowhere near as good as anything else we can buy.
