You can't go wrong with Bates 968. I wore a pair through the academy and still have them! When you get your 3/4 "elf shoes" issued they are Bates so you know right there that Bates is a brand no one will bother you over.
I know it says it in your packet but just to repeat it in case you missed it DO NOT BUY THE HIGH GLOSS.
When you get your shoes start shining them as soon is as you get them. You can not get a proper shine in just a day or two. If you're in the military you already know how if you don't google it. For those who know a few tricks don't use them. Use kiwi only.
Wear them around the house. Trust me you don't want to break them in at the Academy.Last edited by Empiregrey; 03-06-2016, 08:10 AM.In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God!

The color you want is Oxford gray although other brands may call it Heather. I would avoid anything described as charcoal. This is very close to what I wore. Of course finding proper sweatpants and sweatshirt was a lot easier before moisture wicking micro fleece. You think they would update that packing list from the 70s to at least the early part of this last decade.

I used a pair of Nunn Bush Men's Eddy Oxford. They were really comfortable and held up without issues through all the *ahem* activities.
You should consider looking for wrestling shoes now too. When it became time we needed it, it was out of wrestling season and the shoes were hard to find.
As I've offered for previous classes, feel free to PM me with any questions regarding the Academy. I'll help as much as I can without ruining some good surprises.

2. What color running shoes do we need or is any color okay? You want conservative colored shoes; don't be noticed.
3. Do we need to bring gray shorts the first day or are we provided the shorts the first day?IDK about now. It has been a long time. We were issued the shorts right away.In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God!
