Yeah, the A-6s. Did you wear just the boots themselves, or were they
big enough to be worn over a pair of shoes?

Ah, that takes me back! In basic training I was issued a pair of
overshoes (galoshes, if you prefer) so large that when I walked they
never left the ground.

In the interest of the Company's rank in the climactic Speed March, we
wore the galoshes all day, every day.

Mine never left the ground, or more accurately: mud.
