A plethora of people loving how comfortable these jungle boots are. (just search “comfort” in the “customer questions & answers bar). Comfort is of utmost importance when buying anything. Jungle boots are expected to be as comfortable as possible given that you are going to trek inside the jungle. High- end boots are known to be lighter and so provide perfect comfort. As compared to middle weight boots, high- end boots feel light even to the feet. Heavy weight types are needed in a break in period. Consider jungle boots with removable insoles if you need additional arch or heel support so that you can take out the factor originals.

Danner says that the boots run narrow and that men should size up by at least half a size or go with the next wider fit. Women should size down by 1.5-2 sizes.Jungle boots are a type of combat boot designed for use in jungle warfare or in hot, wet, and humid environments where a standard leather combat boot would be uncomfortable or unsuitable to wear. Jungle boots have vent holes in the instep and sometimes a canvas upper to aid in ventilation and drainage of moisture. The SV2 also has a perforated air-port cushion footbed that provides better metatarsal ridge support and enhances the insole performance. These are the kind of features that I really like in a jungle boot because I’ve suffered from sport-related orthopaedic problems for a long time. Additionally, if you are somewhere with dense vegetation and a high density of venomous snakes (or even large numbers of army ants), these are not going to afford much protection above the ankle. The grip on jungle boots is made to pass specific coefficient of friction and slip tests, especially the ones that are designed for and in conjunction with institutions like the U.S. military, where only the very best jungle boots will do.

Any slight friction, heat or damp skin could cause a blister which will definitely make you be uneasy in your outdoor sessions. Durability The best jungle boots, because of their military history and current application, are designed to provide maximum traction in slippery environments. Just because the S2V was designed with comfort in mind doesn’t mean that these jungle boots are less robust or up to the task in hot, humid, muddy environments. They are still engineered with 1000 denier CORDURA heavy-duty nylon, have been treated with PTFE for flame resistance (not that you need that in the jungle) and flash and water-resistant leather.

[1] However, M-1942 (Jungle) and M-1945 (Combat Boot, Tropical) boots used Vibram soles. [6] [7] After the conclusion of World War II, American interest in jungle equipment lay dormant until their next tropical engagement in 1965, so an improved jungle boot used Dobie's Panama sole. [1] [7] Although taller, British military forces used a variant of the American jungle boot. Special Operations Executive Force 136 personnel were issued these boots during operations in Burma 1944–45. They were later used in the Malayan Emergency.

Value for money Bring out the fierce jungle look in you with Dr. Marten’s 1460 Leather Boots. This boot will set you out in the mood for the jungle, camping, hiking, mountaineering and any other outdoor activity. It is a lace low boot that offers great comfort as you explore the terrains of the jungle. The next important step after purchasing your jungle boots is trying them on, making sure they fit correctly, and breaking them in. Please do this at least one month before the start of the course. The best jungle boot can turn into an evil form of torture if you don’t break them in properly. One good rule of thumb is to buy boots one size bigger than your normal size. Some brands run small, and also your feet get swollen with the exercise, so try to account for that by going one size bigger.
