We all had to convert to "Black Shoes" sometime in the 70's. And we could no longer wear those nifty ankle high boots, either.

Musta had (I forget who he was - Zumwalt?) a Black Shoe in the CNO chair.

I think "Brown Shoes" and those nifty boots are legal again.

Cool. I saw an E-6 Recruiter on the street the other day wearing a black piss-cutter with his winter working blues. Looked sharped. Say they initiated them about 4 years ago. The dixie cup always looked stupid with that uniform...actually it looks stupid anyway.
