My dad was issued original jungle boots in Vietnam. According to my dad. The original jungle boots had an anti punji stake insert, much like insoles for boots/shoes. He said that it was like walking on chicken wire. So everyone in his unit got rid of anti punji stake insert. Now on the improved green jungle boots. The manufacturer put an anti punji stake liner in the sole of the boot. Making the boots more comfortable and still trying to keep troops feet safe.

[@waterbox4202]

Here in Peru, the army issues Peruvian made versions of the jungle boot to our troops, this time the spike protection is made out of a non metalic fiber composite that is light and flexible. We still have a market for jungle boots as our army fights drug cartels in the Amazon, it is the boots cops have too. The cops buy their own cheap version not as comfortable, but the Peruvian State issued to the marines and heavy infantry are as comfortable and rugged as some Altama's or even better

[@andrewweisel438]

Green jungles are spike protection. So, when you break them in, you’re breaking in a leather-steel-leather sandwich under that Panama sole. The rothco looks the same outside, but on the bottom they’re crap.

[@andrewweisel438]

I’m hiking the PCT this year in my 1988 surplus green jungles. I’m currently breaking in. The way the sole breaks in, it makes the bottom of your boots both, injection molded to your foot, and thin as possible 🤙

I remember wearing fire fighter boots for 16 hours a day when i was in civil defense, and in the beginning, i never understood why a single pair was over 300$! But after spending the majority of your week in them, fighting fires, stepping on sharp debris and running around in all kinds of weather and so forth, i never wanted anything but the best! We even tried a similar test, where unless we were on call, we had to use the cheapest pair of rainboots we could for our daily tasks, and most of us had to drop the idea after just 5 hours or so, to avoid destroying our feet for when it mattered...

I never served, but I had a friend that served in the army back in the early 90s. He was an army ranger. We were talking about ranger school and I was asking all types of questions about it. And I finally got to the age old question about what did he think anyone could do to get through ranger school and his answer was this, “there isn’t really much anyone can do to get through ranger school besides go in being as fit as possible, and having the mentality of knowing shit is going to really suck, but needing to push past it…” and then he paused to think about it a little bit more, and said this, “but if I had to think of something as advice for anyone to get through it easier, or what made it easier for me was having dry socks. Always carry extra socks.” Now again I never served, but I think pretty much anyone can know and related to how shitty a day can get when you walk around in wet shoes and socks. So there you go guys, without serving, and not knowing ranger school other than what I watched on TV, I give you the elixir of life from an old school army ranger. Hopefully this reaches someone and they can comment on this one day and let me know if he was right.

[@joshkiej6601]

he was 100% right. If you're on a hike or anything alike and you have a 10 min break, change your socks. Also: buy merino wool socks, theyre by far the best. Treat your feet the best you can or you could end up with trench feet.

Grunt Proof did a video review on the Rothco Jungle Boots after 2 years of use and abuse and I agree with him after my own experience that they are fantastic for the price. You really do a disservice to the Rothco boots by not putting insoles in them to give them a REAL review. Not including insoles in the boots is actually a good cost saving measure in my opinion, because I have my own preference (gel inserts fyi) for insoles that I use in all my boots.

I recommend getting a surplus Alice pack and a good frame, then if you want some added comfort check out the MALICE upgrades for stuff like the straps and pads. It’s affordable and it’s a great pack. The green pack he has is an Alice with some malice straps, possibly more. It’s a good affordable option that is favored by a lot of soldiers. The full malice pack is also an option if you want to shell out a lot of money. Depending on what you plan to use it for there may be better options from companies like mystery ranch that are more outdoorsy/hunting focused but those are usually pretty expensive. Honestly there are so many options for packs you’re better off finding videos recommending particular pack options for what you want it for, a cheap vs expensive video is just going to be super barebones on info that is applicable to you.

Here in the UK a popular brand of boot is Alt Berg, based in Yorkshire (in the North of the country where it's pretty rural and hilly). They do a lot of military-style boots designed for different roles, and apparently were saved from going out of business years ago when a couple of soldiers walked past, saw some boots in the window, tried them and bought them - then the next day pretty much the entire barracks went to the shop wanting some because they were so impressed. I'm not military myself but I totally agree that a good pair of boots is essential for anything you want to do on your feet for long periods or on rough ground. Not an area where you want to cheap out when buying your kit! Loved the vid as always guys, keep it up!

[@combatbootsreviews9998]

The comparison isn't very fair, as these are two completely different boot designs, made for different conditions. The hard "Panama" sole with its deep lugs of the Jungle boot are meant for soft mud and water, with drainage holes and thin nylon upper for quick drying. Of course they will feel harder on pavement. And you compare them with membrane-lined warm boots for colder climate? Obviously - choose your gear according to where you will operate.

[@pepsi_man4962]

Thank you for actually calling this out. I have a pair of jungle boots and tbh I would only use them when it’s muddy out or snow because I wear thick socks. And mine don’t get snow in them through the drainage holes. I would recommend jungle boots to anyone who hunts or does outside work on lawns. But for airsoft or any thing else just wear tac boots, 80s styled leather boots or modern desert boots.

[@MONEYPYROgaming]

I've got a couple things to say from my experience with boots. For reference, I'm mostly speaking as someone who went airsofting a lot, and goes out shooting. First, boots totally matter. I used to wear the same pair of Nikes everywhere, including during outdoor activites. Finally I got a pair of Garmont T8s for about $80-$100, and they've held up since, I love them. I also got a pair of leather combat boots, and jungle boots both from the Vietnam era for about $80 together. They're both great, and the jungle boots actually hold up really well to being used. My second point is about those Rotcho jungle boots. Those are 100% something that only Vietnam reenactors should get, and only if they cant find the real deal. There's a few repros of the jungle boots, but most look to be cheap junk, or they're fairly solid but don't look correct. And lastly, I love your guy's mismatched time period clothing and ruck setup. Isreal has the Chocoloate Chip pants with a UCP ruck, and Cameron's got those Crye's with a old Alice pack. Maybe you guys could do a video on combat clothing, or rucks/assault packs

[@joeyb7408]

I got two pairs of boots i use on deployment and i never have a problem with the price. All that matters to me is they fit and they are comfortable as soon as i put them on because that sets the tone. I have oakley light assault 2.0 for my everyday patrol and Lowa gortex for cold/stormy days

Your footwear choice doesn’t just affect your feet, it transmits to your legs, back, and even your neck. So don’t skimp. I used cheap shoes and boots from my teens until my early 20s. Then a friend of mine got me onto Keens. They lasted at least 4 times longer than any of my previous shoes until they outsourced to China and got crappy.

Good way to get rid of the extra lace length it to wrap it around the top of the boot on your calf. Then tie your knot then tuck the butterflies into the boot between the tongue and sides. Keeps the laces nice and taught when tying the knot and keeps the laces from flapping about making noise. As well as tucked like that no chaffing compared to if you tucked it directly inside the boot itself.

I once got a pair of those Rothco jungle boots for just dicking around in the woods, and they were NOT fitted for that kind of use.

I dressed up as like a background GI from Full Metal Jacket and thought these could last at least for a costume. Not only did they leave a horrible black oily residue wherever I took a step, they were slippery on the floor, and I had to take them off and switched to my non-slip regulation shoes after wearing them for a measly 30 minutes of helping my crew make burgers. Even though I only wore them for 30 minutes, that night I had a major blister on each heel, and smaller ones on the sides of my foot. Awful boots. They actively hurt the wearer.

No Scout (19D), LRSU 11(B), or 0311 (USMC), ever wore boots (of any style) straight from clothing sales. I wore jungle boots in every deployment (except Norway, Germany, and Korea...and MCMWTC), including the "desert" version issued to us in Somalia. I still have a re-soled pair, an unworn pair, and the "deserts" I was issued. It took over 50 years for the "jungle boot" to be replaced (and today, there's currently a new proto-type jungle boot being fielded in Hawaii). Anything "Chinese" will get you what you pay for.

A way that I tie my boots is I bring them around and cross them in the back bring back to the front and I also have a space after the lace hole to make it more flexible my grandpa taught me this because he did it in the army
