Ammunition boots are a form of military footwear. They were the standard combat boot for the British Army and other forces around the British Empire and Commonwealth from at least the mid-1860s [a] until their replacement a century later in the 1960s with the rubber-soled Boots DMS (for 'Direct Moulded Sole'). [2]
The British Army introduced the DMS (Direct Moulded Sole) ankle boot in 1958. [citation needed] This had a moulded plastic sole and was externally similar to the World War II Ammunition Boot. However, they featured a low sideless tongue which allowed water to get in over the top of the foot.

During World War II, the British Army issued trial copies of Fallschirmjäger-type side laced boots in the early days of the Parachute Regiment, but they were not adopted. A high version of the standard ammunition boot was trialled with an extra cuff with eyelets added to the top of the boot. They were also fitted with thick crepe rubber soles.
Tanker boots are military boots [1] [2] closely associated with soldiers who serve on tanks. [1] The tanker boot was "designed by Dehner 's own H. E. Ketzler and General George S. Patton Jr. in 1937" who "wanted something easy and fast to get on."
