ST. CHARLES, Mo. - Propper International has won two new contracts to supply hot weather boots to the United States Army and the Afghanistan military.

The new three-year contract was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency after an extensive bidding process.

The boots will come in two colors: tan for the US Army and black for the Afghanistan military.

The contracts, totaling just over $48 million, will run through fiscal 2020. The boots will be manufactured in Propper’s Puerto Rico facilities.
