Which feature is not part of the authorized Navy working uniform boot?

• A. Nylon upper
• B. Black color
• C. 9-inch height
• D. Steel toe

Answer: (A)

The feature being tested is the material of the boot upper and what the Navy specifies for authorized working boots. Navy working uniform boots are designed with uppers that are leather or a leather-and-synthetic mix, chosen for durability, water resistance, and a uniform, professional appearance across all ships and duty stations. A nylon upper would not meet those standards, which is why it’s not part of the authorized boot.

The other features mentioned—nine-inch height, a dark color, and a safety toe option—align with the typical requirements for authorized boots: enough height to provide ankle support and fit under the uniform pants, a color that matches the uniform appearance, and a protective toe for safety in certain environments. So nylon uppers aren’t allowed, while the other characteristics are consistent with approved boots.
