When the ACU uniform replaced the BDU and DCU uniforms, a special emphasis was made on ensuring there was no use of the colour black. The reason for this is that solid black is not found in nature, and actually stands out when viewed through Night Vision Goggles. On top of this, brown boots were better suited to a wide variety of terrain.

When did the brown boot Army change to black boots?
The switch to from brown to black boots, shoes & holsters etc began in late 1956 in progressed through early 1957. Brown shoes and boots were still being issued into the late 50's and soldiers had to buy black dye at the PX and dye them. I have heard of Vietnam soldiers who were issued brown boots, but that is consistent with Army policy over many years, to use what's found in the warehouses first. As in the combat boot in WW II, the double buckle boot replaced the hightop shoe and leggins as supplies became available in 1944 and into Korea, until finally everyone had correct issued combat boots. I was on active duty at that time and recall the hassle we had dying all the leather. This also included Army Band music pouches, which had to be backed with green tape to prevent shoe polish from ruining our khaki uniforms.
