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.
