The VZG7 Armored Boots are standard issue combat boots for UNSC Marines, worn as a part of the Marine BDU.
Description
The VZG7 boots appear to be standard lace-up combat boots covered in varying types of armor. Each pair of boots, with armor plating, weighs about 8.1 pounds.[1] The armor attached to the VZG7 boots covers the upper part of the shin from all sides. The boot itself is covered in lighter armor plating.[2]
In the later version, the metallic armor covering the upper shin appears to be separate from the boot, and does not cover the back of the leg. Armored coverings attached by straps are often worn on the boot for greater protection.[3]
History
The earlier version of Marine combat boots were more armored. The boots used by Marines stationed on the UNSC Spirit of Fire in 2531 wore fully-armored boots, while the boots sported by the Marines on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn in 2552 included heavy armor that covered the whole shin.
The VZG7 boots were first seen being worn by the Marines around end of the year 2552, during the start of the Battle of Earth.[2] The boots, along with their newer versions have been in active use since then.[3]
