Which boot is authorized for the Navy working uniform?

• A. Black 9-inch tall steel-toed leather boots
• B. Brown leather slip-ons
• C. White low-cut sneakers
• D. Tan desert combat boots

Answer: (A)

For the Navy working uniform, the boots must be black, made of leather, and of a tall, combat-boot style to provide ankle support and a uniform appearance. The black, 9-inch tall leather boot fits these requirements exactly, and the steel-toe feature is acceptable for safety in many duties, so this boot is authorized for NWU wear.

The other options don’t meet the standard: brown leather slip-ons aren’t the correct color or boot style; white low-cut sneakers aren’t boots and don’t align with the uniform; tan desert boots are a different color and style not issued for the Navy working uniform.
