You're Top Poster: #1  | Do you have any more details Cutaway. The picture doesn't exactly explain why they melt (being leather soled is necessarily a reason as leather shrinks, cracks and/or falls apart but never melts as such)

You're Top Poster: #1 | Ah I see. Yes there are complaints from British soldiers about their boots, and this may well be the case with the American soldiers too: Forces still wearing boots that melt - Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...16/nirq116.xml Army's equipment exposed as unfit to fight desert war - Independent Online Edition > This Britain
