Armed Forces: Protective Clothing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what types of combat boot are issued to service personnel as standard; and in which country is each manufactured.
Answered by Maria Eagle
Under the Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation contract, the Ministry of Defence procures combat boots from the following companies:
- Aku, manufactured in Italy, Romania and Serbia;
- Haix, manufactured in Germany and Croatia; and
- Iturri, manufactured in Italy, Peru, Romania and Spain.
There is no single standard set of combat boots issued across the Services. Instead, a range of combat boots are issued to suit different operational environments.
