The purpose of the listing is to provide Air Force personnel a listing of manufacturer/vendor self-certified, Berry compliant combat boots that meet dress and appearance requirements. The listing from all respondents is intended to be uploaded to an Air Force website available to all airmen. The listing will also be shared the Army and Navy footwear points of contact allowing them to use it how they would like.
