Originally developed for the Swiss military, the KS90 Gen I Combat Boots were designed for demanding use in harsh terrain.
Their defining feature is the hybrid sole system: a licensed Vibram outer tread delivers exceptional grip on rock, mud, and snow, while the contoured, shock-absorbing core reduces fatigue over long distances. The boots also incorporate a high-performance ankle support system providing stability under heavy loads without compromising comfort.
Constructed from thick, full-grain leather, the uppers are reinforced with a high-cut, gusseted tongue and a protective toe cap. When properly conditioned, the leather offers excellent resistance to water and cold, making these boots ideal for wet or wintry conditions.
These Gen I models, produced in the late 1990s to early 2010s are characterized by the construction of the sole, which has several rubber layers.
Though issued, the boots remain in excellent structural condition. You may notice minor scuffs or surface dryness from storage—easily remedied with a quick clean and polish. Some pairs may have minor cuts on the rubber sidewall, which are mostly cosmetic and are unlikely to affect the overall structural integrity.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
