What is the incidence of foot/lower leg injuries in the british army as a result of poor footwear?

Hmm, you are already biasing the answer because youthink the footware is bad.

In the RAF the high combat boots have helped reduce the number of injuries as they provide more support than the older DMS boots.

Due to the type of work and activity we carry out we get a lot of shin splints (these are small fractures in the shin that are very painful). This is caused by the shin being overstressed.

But if you take part in a lot of activity you do pick up injuries.

A lot less these days as they have changed over the new "army" spec runner shoes

Not sure what question you are asking, but in the First world war soldiers suffered with trench foot, cause by living in wet trench's and not drying their feet and boots off. Hope that's what you mean

low, very low. Any incidence is a result of high levels of physical activity not the foot wear.

The older boots gave less protection than the modern high leg boots, the older training shoes were not the best but again it was the levels of activity that caused the problems.

Look at any professional footballer for instance, great boots, lots of problems with lower legs
