Desert Tan GI Style Jungle Boots

Desert Tan Jungle Boot

Rothco's Classic Military Jungle Boot follows the lace-up pattern American troops wore in hot, wet climates. The upper pairs breathable canvas and nylon with a leather toe and heel, so it stays lighter and drier than an all-leather boot. This Desert Tan version is all one sand color from collar to sole. It suits buyers who want a working field boot for warm weather, a period-correct piece for reenactment or a sturdy everyday boot with military lines.

Features

• Canvas And Nylon Upper — The fabric shaft lets air move around the foot and dries faster than leather after a soaking.
• Leather Toe And Heel — Leather covers the areas that take the most scuffing and impact, and stitched overlays reinforce them.
• 8-Inch Height — The tall shaft covers the ankle and lower calf and gives support on uneven ground.
• 9-Eyelet Lacing — Nine rows of metal eyelets let you set the fit tight at the ankle and looser at the top, or the other way around.
• Panama-Pattern Sole — Deep, widely spaced rubber lugs grip soft ground and push mud out as you walk instead of packing with it.
• Vulcanized Construction — The rubber sole is heat-bonded directly to the upper, which leaves no glued seam to separate.
• Oil-Resistant Rubber — The outsole is marked oil resistant and is built to resist slipping on slick surfaces.
• Internal Steel Shank — A steel plate set into the sole under the arch supports the heel and calf and stiffens the boot under load.
• Removable Insole — Take the insole out to dry it or replace it with your own orthotic or cushioned footbed.

Fit and Construction

These boots run roughly a half to a full size larger than standard sizing. They are cut to be worn with two pairs of wool socks, the way service boots traditionally were. If you plan to wear a single pair of regular socks, order a half or full size down. The size is molded into the sole, and the tan rubber matches the canvas and leather above it.
