Under the pants – discreet, almost looks as if you aren’t wearing boots if it weren’t for the aggressive lug patternĪs with all military boots, these will wear a full size smaller than your sneaker size. Punk – un-tied with pants tucked it for a punk rocker look From punk to cop from un-tied to laced and bloused. The upper and the inner vents can let in water, which combined with extremely cold weather will freeze your toes. The only time I would say they aren’t great is in cold rain.
The breathable upper or water draining features make this a perfect choice for summer, but are even appropriate in cooler months because, well, black leather boots are still pretty hot. These are a great choice if you are directing traffic, standing guard, or working on your feet. The sole is also soft enough to be stood in for long periods of time and it’s jobsite compliant with oil, acid, and slip resistant soles - though they’re not static dissipative and do not offer a steel toe. These boots are a great fit for anyone who needs to move fast, like police, EMTs, or other professions with a lot of walking. From above, my feet look surprisingly small in these boots. The sole is thick, but doesn’t protrude outside of the profile of your foot the cemented construction means there is no welt along the outside, allowing for a nimble silhouette.

The idea of the boot is that there is no way to prevent water from getting in while walking through the jungle, so the boot has features to allow water to effectively drain. The boot is characterized by drains on the inner arc, an aggressive “Panama” sole, and an upper made of two materials, leather and canvas, to allow for better ventilation. Originally issued in 1942 for the tropical theatres of World War Two, the Jungle Combat boot is most associated with the Vietnam war.
