After Korea... IIRC it was the "National Defense Act" of 1958 or 1959... I'm thinking '59 since that's when the rank structure changed. This act combined a lot of procurement items into one specification. For example; Navy-black shoes, Marines-Cordovan, Army-Russet Brown all became black leather.

As far as I know they didn't. I worked with a guy who was stationed at Taegu with a night time bomber recon squadron and he didn't see black boots until 1957.

Yup. If it's black, it's wrong prior to the mid-50's.
