US Army Black Leather Jump Boots

US Army Jump Boots

These are US Army black leather jump boots, the tall lace-up boot style long associated with American airborne troops. They are genuine US Army issue footwear, not a commercial copy. A smooth black upper, high laced shaft and Vibram rubber sole make them a fit for uniform wear, reenactment, collecting, or daily use by anyone who wants a plain, sturdy military boot.

Features

• Black Smooth Leather Upper — The upper is a smooth black leather that takes polish well for parade and dress wear.
• Plain Rounded Toe — The toe has no cap or overlay seam, which gives the clean, uniform front that jump boots are known for.
• Tall Lace-Up Shaft — The shaft rises well above the ankle to support it and hold the boot close to the lower leg.
• Blackened Metal Eyelets — A long row of black eyelets runs from the instep to the collar, so you can snug the fit along the whole shaft.
• Padded Collar — A rolled, padded top edge sits against the leg and cushions it where the boot ends.
• Gusseted Tongue — The tongue is joined to the upper along its sides, which helps keep dirt and debris out of the lace area.
• Vibram Rubber Outsole — The sole carries the Vibram mark, a brand of hard-wearing rubber soles used on work and military boots.
• Chevron Lug Tread — Angled lugs on the forefoot and heel, with a pebbled surface around them, give grip on mixed ground.
• Stitched Upper Construction — Double rows of stitching reinforce the vamp and quarter seams where the boot flexes most.

Leather And Sole Build

The boot pairs an all-black leather upper with a thick black rubber midsole and a Vibram lug outsole, so nothing breaks up the dark finish from collar to tread. The uncapped toe and tall laced shaft follow the classic jump boot profile. As original US Army issue, they appeal to collectors and reenactors who want the real item, and to wearers who want a boot made for military service rather than for a fashion shelf.
