They tried boots with armored bottoms in Vietnam to combat the pungi traps, but instead of puncturing the foot soldiers tended to severely sprain their ankles, which didn't help much. So that's a thing.

I more think of saftey boots - steel toes, armored shanks, and puncture protection from beneath. Those are not really subtle.

Or specialized sports equipment - downhill ski boots are probably good for DR 2, but they have additional problems :P
