    Aloha,

    If our Commander and Chief's require more advanced and safer footwear when they are inspecting and leading our soldiers in fields of harm perhaps they would consider utilizing the technology developed by our little veteran owned American Small business?

    I am not sure if the current shoe fitting system requires much more skill than what is needed to graduate from kindergarten.

    "Until a few decades ago, the designers would take actual measurements of the President's feet to create custom shoes, according to Jason Jones, the company's vice president of design and development.
    More recently, the president has traced his foot on a white paper, or just given his shoe size."

    We can and should do more and Kevlar should not be banned from our combat boots Mr. President!

    Please have your subject matter experts think a little harder and care a little more.

    Mahalo,
