One of our original combat boots: the Hot Weather Combat boots in Desert Tan. The Ripple-soled boot has enjoyed popularity for many years and this is one of the original models. Ours features the upper design of the current, standard issue Hot Weather combat boot and is made in Desert Tan suede and 1000 denier genuine Cordura.
After six decades of operation, McRae Industries has thrived as a family business – and is now in its third generation.
FAMILY BUSINESSES ARE UNIQUE– yet often challenging – form of operation. Less than 30 percent of family businesses survive into the third generation of family ownership. McRae Industries, a leading manufacturer of combat boots and western footwear, defies the odds. For six decades, the company has more than survived as a family business. It continues to thrive.

Great photos and review from another satisfied McRae Footwear owner. A pair of our Terassault boots have made their way to the top of Machu Picchu! This pair of boots made their way to many of the historical Inca sites in Peru as well!
Just a reminder about our remaining AF Sage boot inventory. Style #5724 is part of the Terassault Freedom series and weighs 32% less than standard issue boots. It’s designed to provide athletic performance without sacrificing the durability you need to complete your mission. Please let your friends and/or relatives know about this as Sage is still worn by many and used at some AFROTCs.
From all of us here at McRae, thank you for your service and business!
Your boots are as important to your safety and performance as any equipment you may be issued or that you may buy. Keeping them in good condition not only prolongs the life of the boot but will aid in keeping your feet more comfortable for the life of the boots.
