This is a fantastic boot. They are really easy to break in and are light weight at about 2lbs for a size 10 pair. I only mowed the lawn and walked around the house for a day and they were broke in. I wore these for a 12 mile ruck march up in Red Rock park in Nevada with a 45lb rucksack and they were awesome. I used SOF athlete boot inserts and I was wearing Covert Threads "Rock Infiltrator" socks. I also replaced the standard boot laces with black 550 cord. I had zero blisters, zero hot spots, and zero problems. Don't worry about the color selection because they are both black leather with cordura.

I know that it is a jungle boot, but I bought it for winter walking through unplowed and unshoveled walks on the way to work and with my dog. We just had a snowstorm, and the boots performed well in the snowy and cold conditions. The Vibram sole had good grip on both hard-packed and drifted snow, keeping my feet warm and dry.
The lacing system evenly distributed tension along the entire length of the tongue, the laces are easy to tie and keep tied. As a military spec boot, it takes a shine well and keeps it. I work in a business casual environment where they are fussy about footwear, and nobody has commented on the fact that I am wearing a military boot.
The boots broke in quickly, and within a week I was walking without any discomfort, and without any folds or breaks in the finish on the boot.

My boots arrived promptly, as agreed and expertly packaged. The fit is perfect and they are quite comfortable!!! My feet look good in them too!! I've worn Altama boots for over 20 years and I can tell you with complete confidence that they haven't compromised on quality.

I finally got around to trying these out. The stiff Cordura nylon upper makes you sound like a train coming down the tracks as you walk! YG2BFKM - How long does this crunchy sound last? In a tactical situation, where stealth counts, I would never in a million years recommend these boots, unless this clickly crunchy sound is gone. Does it go away after use? How many miles? Can you put some kind of silicon treatment on them to quiet them down? I'm not on any stealthy tactical mission, but I'll get a lot of strange looks at Starbucks with the sound effects.

the brand is great, long last last. jungle boots i swear by them but jungle work boots? new to me. same great quality, the bottoms can handle the pound of shovels & its nice having vents in a set of work boots but are defently high profile compared to normal jungle boots. jungle boots are narrow, low to the ground. when you add higher profile u do need to pay little more attention to where ur steping. i would of hurt my self several times already if jungle boots didnt already have good ancle support. thats the only reason why i gave them 4 stars instead of 5. they are good for work but never would want to find my self marching in the woods or swimming accross a river with them. if this is ur main use then go for normal ones ot just buy both.

THese boots are good quality. I haven't worn much - just around town (busy wearing them in).
However, please note, they are heavier than the similar boots with "panama style" sole. and These boots are thicker/higher profile.
So i prefer the panama style soled boots to these 3-layer style boots - because the panama style are lighter and lower profile.
But...these are still good quality boots, comfortable, and easy to wear. Very nice buy.

I used these boots in the US Army - they fit fantastic, easy break in, durable and also offer a unique look. These boots are lightweight and offer great ankle stability. These boots lasted a long time for me, still look good and still just as comfortable as my first day after breaking them in. Laces can break after continued use - I recommend trying better laces of your choice or having some in reserve for when it happens. Watch how tight you tie the boots as the lace sockets can pop out. Other than those two issues which are small these boots have served me well and I still use them for hiking and long distance walks, etc.
