MLs tended to have better boots (from bitter experience), Scarpas were particularly popular because they fitted the Yeti gaiters without having to superglue them to the toes. Otherwise, as has been said above, pretty much the same as any other para-qualified bootie.
The BBC series 'Behind the Lines' which covered the 1984 ML2 course is still on BBC iPlayer - that will give you a good idea.
