== History ==
Other varieties of UNSC combat boots often contain more protective armor plating than the standard VZG7 boot. The boots used by Marines stationed on the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in [[2531]] were fully armored, with protective plating covering the whole boot and the shin, while the boots sported by the Marines aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in 2552 included armor that covered the shin.
