Modeled after the classic combat boot used in Vietnam and Panama, these jungle boots have a black or olive drab upper made from rugged nylon and canvas and have a strong black rubber Panama sole. Vents on the sides allow for breathability and drainage, while the lightweight construction makes them perfect for a variety of environments. These jungle boots make great uniform boots for step groups, marching bands, security companies, and more!

GI Style Jungle Boots Features:

  • Material: Action leather with flexible canvas/nylon panels
  • 9 eyelet lacing system
  • Thick vulcanized rubber lugged Panama outsole pushes out mud and debris for enhanced traction
  • Steel shank
  • Dual vent holes for breathability and drainage
  • Please Note: These boots run a full size larger than standard.

What are Jungle Boots?

Just as their name suggests, jungle boots are designed for combat in tropical and jungle environments. While this less expensive version may not be intended for the front lines, it still shares many of the same features as the classic boot. Used extensively during the Vietnam War, jungle boots feature a Panama sole that is designed to be especially effective in mud and clay, pushing either to the side as you walk to ensure a firmer foothold. There are vents near the instep to help the boot breathe and allow any water that gets in to drain out. The uppers are made of canvas instead of leather, aiding in breathability and making the boots extra flexible, while the leather toe looks sharp, takes a shine, and adds a bit of durability to the boot.

The Jungle Boots I ordered arrived quickly and were well packaged. The sizing was perfect and the great quality is how I remember my original Army issued Jungle Boots to be.

Boots arrived quickly, well packaged, and in good condition. They are a bit large and didn't come with supportively shaped insoles; after adding 2 insoles to each boot they fit well enough to be usable & comfortable for yard work & general outdoor use.

Great boots, made well. As far as size goes I wear a 9-1/2R but ordered these in a 7R. The 7R's fit perfect with my work socks. I have high arches but the break in was only one day of wearing them. Very happy. Just bought some zippers to add to them.

Bought these to be a kind of casual wear boot, and for wear for yard work. I read that they run true to size, so as I have size 14 feet (kinda hard to find much of a selection of footwear in that size) I ordered size 14. They fit perfectly! I find that the quality of construction and materials is up to snuff, and being as lightweight as they are I'm sure they'll be a favorite for long walks on the local county roads around my neighborhood.
