Haben sich die NATO Soldaten ihr Schuhwerk bei libyschen Rebellen abgeschaut?

Negativ. Auf den Bildern sind einige Turnschuh-tragende (bewaffnete) "Übersetzer" zu sehen:

Der Herr ganz rechts mit Schild ist kein Soldat, sondern höchstwahrscheinlich Übersetzer.

Hier sind keine reinrassigen, klassischen Turnschuhe zu sehen, sondern eben tacticool Trekking-(Halb)schuhe. (Ähnlich dem restlichen Schuhwerk der Soldaten auf diesen Bildern, und ähnlich dem, was seit Jahren Spezialkräfte eben tragen)

Weil die Knöchel ungeschützt sind?

Definitiv richtig, allerdings ist umknicken, verdrehen etc in urbanem Territorium weitaus unwahrscheinlicher als im heimischen Fichtenwald (Trümmerhaufen ala Stalingrad außen vor) wo Stiefel definitiv die klügere Wahl sind. Auf ebener Fläche knickt man einfach seltener um,

Kann mir gut vorstellen, dass die Dinger grad bei hohen Temperaturen einfach angenehmer+deutlich bequemer sind.

Ich habe in der "Schuhdiskussion" die gleiche Meinung wie du gehabt

Aber ich kann mir nur gut vorstellen, dass die Jungs keine Lust hatten wie ihre Neuseeländischen (glaube das waren Neuseeländer) Kollegen sich am nächsten Tag in der Zeitung zu sehen.

Dass die Leichten Stiefel mit den dünnen Schäften, die in Afg. getragen werden, besseren Gelenkschutz bieten, halte ich für unwahrscheinlich.

Wusste bisher nicht, daß die norwegischen SF ebenfalls Crye/Multicam tragen. Liegt aber nahe, tragen ja inzwischen viele SOF.
