Yea, odds are that it'll end up directing you to DA PAM 670-1 for more specific specifications if that's what you're looking for. The DA PAM tells you that boots need to meet the following:Thank you, was not sure about googling it.
Thank you @Casey , it’s a maze. Looking for guidance on athletic shoes for pt and run for at USMAYea, odds are that it'll end up directing you to DA PAM 670-1 for more specific specifications if that's what you're looking for. The DA PAM tells you that boots need to meet the following:
"The boots must be between 8 to 10 inches in height and made of coyote-colored, flesh-side out cattlehide leather with a plain toe and a soling system matching the color of the coyote upper materials. Rubber and polyether polyurethane are the only outsole materials that are authorized. The soling materials will not exceed 2 inches in height when measured from the bottom of the outsole and will not extend up the back of the heel or boot or over the top of the toe. The exterior of the boot upper will not contain mesh, but will be constructed of all leather or a combination of leather and nonmesh fabric"
99% of what you find at AAFES will meet these specifications and most places you are buying online, if it is somewhere like Patriot Tactical, will say whether they are AR 670-1 compliant in the description.

Went to a shoe store here locally, got some insoles for her foot style and running shoes. Just wanted to make sure DD’s selection of shoes ( black with white soles) is not out of line.If you haven't had running shoes fitted, I very much recommend going to a local running shoe store and asking for a fitting. It is very much worth the time to find a shoe that fits your stride; you'll feel better after running and your body will take less abuse. In terms of color, just pick something that's conservative so you don't attract any attention you might not want from cadre.
For running, pm me if you have specific questions. Not knowing where you're at right now or what you're currently doing in terms of athletic activity, its hard to provide tailored advice. The general advice is run between now and R-day, hills especially if you can work them into your routes. Try to work up to 4-5 miles at a 8-9 min mile pace comfortably (faster is better but 9 min mile formation runs are the minimum you'll want to be comfortable with so you don't have to deal with falling out of a run). Build mileage over time. Don't jump into running 5 miles this week if you haven't done that before. Generally adding 10% total mileage a week is what's considered safe for folks running longer distance as they're building up mileage. Incorporate speed work (intervals) to get faster. Running steady state longer distances is good for cardio and building an endurance base. It won't make you faster.

Your cadre will be running around in Garmont t8 NFS's(they are quite a popular boot). I would not be too worried.I have just received my Garmont T8 NFS boots. They fit well and seem to be of good quality. However, I do have one concern. The boot memo distinctly says that the boots can not contain any mesh on the exterior. On the exterior of my boots, there appears to be some sort of mesh material. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. I would hate to break this pair in just to have them not meet the standards. Also, I suppose it is important to note that these boots are Army 670-1 certified. Thanks!
