Military.com | By Blake Stilwell
Converse's iconic Chuck Taylor shoes aren't just for people who want to look cool for a decent price. They might also be the unofficial athletic shoe of U.S. Naval Special Warfare.
High-top or low, these longtime staples of American fashion are also the shoe of choice for Navy SEALs who need functional sneakers at sea, on land or in close-quarters combat. Teamguys are actually issued clean pairs of all-black Chucks for use in maritime operations. Some choose to wear them on land missions.
Not only do the SEALs get to take down some of the world's worst bad guys, but they also get to look old school cool while doing it.
