Ncc cosmo dms

The NCC Cosmo DMS (Direct Moulded Sole) Shoes are the standard tactical footwear primarily used by National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets, police personnel, and security forces in India. They are designed for durability, rigorous drill practice, and parade ground performance.
Here is a detailed breakdown of their features:
1. Build and Material
Upper Body: Made from high-quality grain leather (usually black). The leather is stiff to provide ankle support but can be polished to a high mirror-like shine, which is essential for uniform inspections.
DMS Technology: “Direct Moulded Sole” means the sole is permanently fused to the upper leather part under high pressure and heat. This ensures that the sole never “peels off,” making it extremely water-resistant and durable.
2. Sole and Grip
Sole Material: Typically made of vulcanized rubber.
Traction: The sole features a deep cleated design (antiskid), providing excellent grip on various terrains, from muddy fields to smooth parade grounds.
Heel: The heel is reinforced to produce the distinct “click” sound during march-pasts and salutes.
3. Key Features
Durability: Built to withstand “Ragda” (intense physical training) and long hours of standing or marching.
Design: These are High-Ankle boots, which protect the wearer from ankle twists and provide stability during heavy movement.
Eyelets: Usually feature 6 to 8 pairs of rust-proof metal eyelets for secure lacing.
