Summary0010899: Military dwarves wearing shoes don't equip boots
DescriptionMilitary dwarves will not equip metal boots reliably.
They will interrupt training and activity in order to equip (non-armored) shoes whenever a new pair becomes available.
A dwarf will only equip armored boots if no shoes are available anywhere in the fortress.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationBecause a shoe will always be available after the first dwarf equips the first steel boot, the maximum number of boots present in a squad will always be one.

Shoes do not permit the addition of boots, and your military dwarves aren't smart enough to remove the shoes in order to equip their boots. You can toggle them to "Replace clothing" so their civilian shoes will not block military boots.

Workaround: adding [SHAPED] tags to both shoes and boots allows the fix for helms replacing caps to apply to boots and shoes too.
