Not sure how old you mean, but that's what we're issued at my department. I wouldn't call them old though, oldest sets are probably 6 years old.

Some members of my department use new rubber boots from a variety of manufacturers.  Most of the members purchase their leather boots of choice and keep the rubber ones for hazmat, station chores, or simply turn them in to Supply.

 

I wear a personal pair of Black Diamond X2's - IMHO the best fire boots you can get.

The only rubber boots I will put my feet into are the 3/4 boots I use when doing non-fire instruction at the academy.  Buy yourself a good pair of leathers and your feet will thank you.
