Features of standard leather shoes:
(1) production by regular military enterprises or designated military units; ?
(two) the quality and performance of the products meet the military standards and have passed the inspection; ?
(3) Through the circulation of the regular military support system, the active troops are officially distributed.
Meet the first two items, can be called military products; Only three items meet the requirements can they be called standard products, and only those that meet the requirements of article 1 and do not meet the requirements of articles 2 and 3 can they be called civilian products. The three dissatisfied items are pure fakes, or "imitations".
From the appearance, the identification method of military boots and military shoes is that the military boots and leather shoes distributed by the army are directly exposed on the soles, which is called "Tang Mingdi" in professional terms.
Taking the officer's leather shoes as an example, the General Logistics Department designed the Type 87 officer's leather shoes at 1987. According to the standard of SGB2- 102-87, the appearance style is still three joints and glue joint structure. The upper is chrome-tanned black cattle front leather, and the outsole is flat vulcanized rubber sole with criss-crossing patterns.
After the factory makes the finished products, it is necessary to inspect the quality of the finished shoes and distribute the troops only if they meet the standards. Unqualified shoes are sold to the society as civilian products.
In addition, the outsole of military shoes also has strict requirements on materials: the genuine outsole of military shoes adopts natural rubber, and the rubber content is not less than 38%; The soles of military civilian shoes and most civilian shoes mostly use reclaimed rubber, and the rubber content is only about 15 ~ 20%.
Take the common strongman boots as an example. If the sole of a boot rotates on a high-speed grinder, it feels slow and has little dust, so it can be judged as a military version. If it feels smooth and dusty, it can be concluded that it is a civilian product.

Development history of standard leather shoes
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the officers of the National Government Army and some German-style equipment divisions were distributed with leather boots, but most of the officers and men still wore the traditional cloth shoes and straw sandals of the China Army. At that time, the best army of military boots was the Indian Expeditionary Force in China. In the early days of entering India, soldiers were provided with black leather-soled low-waisted field boots, black "Gala boots" with rubber soles and English brown shoes with rubber soles.
At the same time, the expeditionary force stationed in India also made some military shoes, such as black shoes and sandals with rubber soles. As for officers, in addition to British black boots, American tan 152mm suede boots and riding boots were also distributed. Later, some combat troops successively distributed M43 boots and M42 boots of the US military. The most "awesome" paratroopers are elite paratroopers. Almost every paratrooper has a pair of high-waisted paratroopers like soldiers in China and the United States.
During the War of Liberation, due to the general encirclement and suppression by the National Government, the supplies of revolutionary armed forces led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) were difficult, and most of their military shoes were coarse cloth shoes handmade by rural women.
After liberation, with the mass production of rubber shoes, cloth shoes changed from combat shoes to casual shoes. It is understood that in the middle of the 20th century, the whole army also distributed a kind of circular cloth shoes, commonly known as "shoes for the elderly", but not long after, "shoes for the elderly" gradually disappeared from the feet of PLA soldiers. Finally, wearing military "shoes for the elderly" has become a "patent" for naval submarine forces.
The reason is simple-to prevent "air pollution". If the submarine soldier works in a closed cabin wearing rubber shoes, it is conceivable that the smell is really bad. Therefore, circular cloth shoes with good air permeability became one of the most popular munitions of submarine forces at that time.
