The Army at one time wore brown shoes and boots. It was later changed to black shoes and boots. When one is called a brown boot soldier, it means he was an old timer and still has his brown shoes in his closet.

Can you reenlist in the army if you quit boot camp?

It is highly unlikely that the U.S. Army will take someone who quit while in boot camp. Currently, with only a very few exceptions, the U.S. Army is not accepting reenlistments from soldiers who have left service after fulfilling their enlistment obligation. So, it is highly unlikely the army would accept someone who quit during boot camp, unless they were discharged for humanitarian reasons.


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.
