Rothco Jungle Boots - Durable All-Terrain Boot with Lightweight Comfort

I used to get the cheap rothco type jungle boots 25 years ago and these surprised me by being MUCH higher quality. They're sturdy and comfortable. I've been using them consistently for 7 months with no appreciable damage or wear on the soles. Unlike the ones I used to find these did not have an chemical smell when new and the soles are a better quality rubber. Size runs a little large, though that does allow you to wear doubled socks in cold weather.

Husband loves the boots! Added insoles and they are perfect and keep his feet cool!

I purchased these boots for a 70’s party, they arrrived a day or so before the party and to my disappointment they were too large. The size sent were way to big for me to attempt to wear anyway.

Way too big at least a whole size having to return them and I hate that. They appeared very well made and looked and felt just like the ones from back in the day. Another thing is they came without insoles, but I picked a pair of otc ones

I really wanted these Vietnam style jungle boots because I used to have them as a kid and loved them.. definitely need to buy a size smaller. I bought a size 10 and then bought a size 9 which I've never done. And it fit great but you will need to buy some insoles because they do not have any in them. I love the look so I will keep this pair. I will not use them for construction type work because my feet would be broken by the end of the day because they are not that comfortable. I would still recommend these if you were just into the style. Good to wear with jeans and a night out to the dive bar!!! Or you could use these out trumping through the mud if you live in the southeast on the coast. They're great because of the two drain holes for water on each boot.

these were a lot better when they were 35 bucks. these are less for everyday use and more to put on when you are going to be wading through streams and deep mud. scenarios where your feet are going to get wet anyway. the panama soles don't last a long time but they are more forgiving if walking on sharp gravel or loose terrain, and they actually have fantastic traction in mud. get a nice waterproof insole (the ones in the boots aren't great) and wear thick wool socks. these will leave black skuff marks on floors so leave them in the mud room.

I had a really hard time in deep jungle hikes with a lot of film gear during the rainy season in Panama and normal boots or hiking boots kept causing me troubles. These did the trick and any concern they might not be comfortable enough was done away by wearing two pairs of socks...sounds weird but it works and is super comfy.

Due to the Panama style bottom it keeps the mud off and keeps you light, you have to wear socks with these otherwise the canvas feels really scratchy, I'd say it's a great value for the price, and is the correct style for late-ish vietnam war era gear.

Absolutely fantastic boots. No idea what the bad review on here is talking about... A bit too big, nah they're roomy. And it depends on your unique foot shape. Some trainers have my toes curled up, others don't. These boots do exactly what they are supposed to. People screaming about no insoles... These boots are replicas of Vietnamese Jungle Boots, foam insoles are a new invention... Grow up, man up, or buy insoles for your pedicured, softly moisturised footsies. The canvas ankles allow for more movement than standard leather boots. Like with any leather boots, you have to wear them in, so expect rubbing in places. Of course you get a ridge line from where your toes lift, just like any other leather boots. I'm that happy with them, I'll buy another pair. Combine these with puttees and you are ready for any terrain. Are they perfect? Show me anything that is. Are they worth the money? 100%. (4stars because let's be honest.... You can pay much more for higher end stuff, but for the price, these things are great.)

Fantastic boots look great and are reasonably comfortable but I recommend getting some insoles to improve comfort

I really like it but a little bit heavy

Not true to size. Get a smaller size. Didn't come with insoles, had to make another purchase. Other then that water comes out and well ventilated.

4 months old to the day and the heel is coming off. Disappointed as I was fairly happy with these...
