Intermediate Cold/Wet Boots
In 1988, the U.S. Army began a program to develop a new combat boot for dismounted soldiers and marines operating in cold and wet environments where the mean monthly temperature ranges between 14°F and 68°F (-10° and +20° C). The new Intermediate Cold/Wet (ICW) Boot was designed to fill the protective void between the uninsulated U.S. Army Standard Combat Boot and the highly-insulated Extreme Cold Weather Vapor Barrier Boot.
Materials Used
The boots are made of leather, Texorist material and waterproofed five-layer laminated quilted package material which consists of microporous polytetrafluoroethylene film, nylon tricot knit cloth and three-layer quilted package which consists of nylon and Thinsulate B-200 or Thermolite 200 TFI.
Description of Item
The boots have grain-out leather upper, plain toe vamp, backstay, gusset tongue, box toe, waterproof bootie lining, a neoprene midsole and a full length rubber base outsole.
Specification
- A-A-52076, superseded by MIL-B-44426.
ICW boot with removable linerImprovement
In May 2001, a new version of the ICW boot was released with:
- removable insulated liner (booties),
- more breathable leather for the boot tongue,
- a softer polyurethane mid-sole.
- specification: CRFD/PD 99-09, 2000-04-19. [1]
