The answer

It is permissible to enter the mosque and pray while wearing military boots if they are clean and do not soil the mosque. However, it is advisable to consider the feelings of other worshippers who might view this as a sign of disrespect or a violation of the sanctity of the mosque, especially if it could cause discord. If the boots emit a foul odor after being removed, one must wash their feet before entering the mosque. If this is not possible, the worshipper is excused from attending congregational prayer to avoid causing harm to others.
