<p>I called around for boots today, and hopefully this should help anyone living in/around the Los Angeles area. LA AFB, March AFB, and Vandenberg AFB are all backordered on ACU boots. Fort Irwin is the closest place where you can get the boots, but they only carry the patent-leather low quarters. You can get the low quarters at LA and Vandenberg, March is only carrying patent leather ones. Fort Irwin is about 37 miles northeast of Barstow.</p>
