Wore the Rockys for both patrol and flying duty when I played cop in Sheriff's Air Support. Most comfortable boot I ever owned.
Those boots are marketed by Altama towards the guys who work in wet climates- they have soles that are very similar to high performance boat shoes. They also fit really well in the mil standard swim fins.
A couple of guys wear them here.

Originally designed for Navy SEALs, the Altama Maritime Assault was made for tactical water operations, but is versatile enough for everyday wear. These are equipped with high-abrasion and quick-drying Cordura quarter panels that are rugged enough to withstand repeated heavy-duty use. Air mesh...

I'm a big fan of my Merrell boots. A lot of guys fly real airplanes in them.
There is (was) a flight clearance for certain non-steel toed boots due to toes freezing as the driver.
And to tell a story - knew an AI in the squadron who was missing part of a toe. Did it while cutting his lawn. Docs said if he was wearing steel toed boots that he would have lost all 5 toes based on how the blades got him.

They are required when not enroute or coming back from a flight. I.e.: you aren't supposed to be going to chow in them, walking around the ship in them, etc.
I've seen this enforced pretty well by Ship Safety-O clamping down on the helo squadrons.
