I think I'm going to invest in a sled to come back from classes in. One thing combat boots are very much not good for is traction, and for the next 4 months, I'm going to be slipping and sliding up and down 90-odd steps to and from classes. A sled would at least take care of the downhill venture, and it's much more entertaining to intentionally slide down a hill on one's ass then to fall, then do it.

It sounds like you haven't got the right soles on your boots. Most combat boots I've come across have some kind of lame smooth soles, but if you take them in to get re-soled, you could get some lumberjack-style treads put on. It costs a rather considerable amount of money, but less than a new pair of boots, and I'm guessing it might be more palatable to you than 
having to wear a *different* pair of boots!!!

*chuckles* Yes, but there's also a laziness factor shoved in there. Though at this point I'm going to have to start ordering online anyway--all the army surpluses around me have closed down.
