Well, I've been watching the show since 66 have some more money into props and costume in than most people do on new cars, so I would consider myself a die-hard fan, but call it what you would like. Just because something isn't seem very often doesn't mean that it's not part of the show. Yeah, maybe it was used in only two episodes, but it makes sense that they would try different uniform items from time to time and that's what one would assume when they saw those items on a character. When I was in the military we often tried different things under the auspices of our various Commanders, so, yeah, they might not be the most common boots but that doesn't mean it's not good to see the variant from time to time. Just my opinion.
