原文：

The U.S. Army is exploring how to get better boots that are made in America. The goal is twofold: improve the quality of military footwear and revitalize American footwear manufacturing that has largely been outsourced overseas.

"The intent for this project and funding is to support re-shoring of the domestic footwear industry, improve capabilities for the domestic military footwear industrial base, and ultimately provide the best performing footwear technology to the warfighter," explained a new Request for Information from the Army.

Finding American-made footwear can present a challenge. In 2020, imported footwear accounted for 99% of the U.S. market, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.

中譯：

美國陸軍正致力於探索如何為官兵取得品質更佳、且為美國本土製造的軍靴。此舉有兩大目標：一是提升軍用鞋類的品質，二是重振大部分已外包至海外的美國本土鞋業製造業。

陸軍在一份新發布的「資訊需求書」（RFI）中解釋道：「本計畫與資金的意圖，在於支持國內鞋類產業的『回流』（Re-shoring）、提升國內軍鞋工業基礎的能力，並最終為作戰人員提供性能最佳的鞋類技術。」

然而，尋找美國製造的鞋類可能會面臨挑戰。根據美國國際貿易委員會的數據，2020年進口鞋類佔據了美國高達99%的市場份額。
