Hello! I am from the UK and hoping to join the legion early next year.
I am soon to start rucking for practice and wondering if I should expect to be allowed to use my same rucking boots in Castel? (should I pass pre-selection)
I have read training for rucking using shoes not boots is better and "allows the muscles of the feet and ankles to be “trained,” strengthened, and support more weight through a wider range of motion on their own."
However if I can buy 8" or taller military boots and wear them in to my feet, maybe that will be better, as long as I can use them for rucking in Castel and they do not take them away from me. Appreciate any help on this! Thanks
