I own reproduction "M1943 Jungle boots" Okinawa boots made by Pike Brothers and they're my absolute favorite boots. Old school design that breathes in the summer and has very good lugs for traction.

Official name for the jungle boot was “ boot combat tropical, water and mildew resistant”. It became known as the “ jungle boot”. The only boot that has a specific name is the “ tanker boot” it gets this name cause it uses a strap that buckles at the top in lieu of laces which can burn in the event of a fire and can cause burns. In Vietnam the tankers and pilots were obligated to wear all leather boots cause their occupation had a fire risk and the jungle boots fabric upper could cause burns and was less flame retardant then leather

My uncle was a Marine in Viet Nam, and he has mentioned how quickly the leather boots would rot and start coming apart in the tropical climate.

1:52 these boots look very similar to the “boot, combat, high” used by the British army in the eighties and nineties. I have a pair produced by bata in 1989 and they look almost identical to the ones in this picture.

Very cool, I wanted to get boot, combat, high for my collection and airsoft, but all my friend that had them said that at some point the sole gets ruined. It probably has something with the storage time or manufacturing date…

@@RedIvanMilitaryEng I have three pairs of them the oldest being from 1986 and I’ve not had problems with the sole. Only on the later cs95 assault boot have I had the soles crumble, the boots combat high is a tougher boot although less comfortable.
