Rothco Jungle Boots Work Boots Hiking Boots

Not only did they look good but they were extremely comfortable and They are Lightweight, Flexible, and a much higher quality material the the other brand I originally purchased.

I bought 12 because that's what I normally wear. They were too big. They don't have half sizes, so I got an 11 hoping they wouldn't be too tight. 11 was STILL too big and much more than "wear thick socks" too big. And they were out of 10s so I just returned them. I haven't worn a 10 since my late teens. Size down two sizes if you want these. Really nice boots and affordable though. Shame.

Can’t give them 5 stars because I’ve only been wearing them one week at the time of this review. But so far so good. They are oversized but the product description states that. I got some cheap inserts and that took care of that. I’ve been wearing them everyday for a week in rough working conditions. I wanted these for the hard rubber soles because I run a high risk of stepping on rusty nails sticking through boards. These are my first jungle boots. The canvas uppers seem to keep my feet cooler, I don’t know why. Also, the canvas uppers make these boots easier to lace and they slip on and off a lot easier than what I’m used to. I haven’t ran into any of the problems yet that I’ve seen in these reviews. None of the bootlace eyelets have popped out and the drain grommets are still intact. The leather looks to be real. It’s not cracking and splitting anywhere yet. I shine the boots at the end of the day. I bought these to use for a big cleanup project and then throw away. But I may hold onto them. I like them more and more. My girl friend asked me to order her a pair, I tried to dissuade her, but ended up ordering her a pair. I have no idea how that will go. Anyway, I can’t give them a 5 because I’ve only had them a week. I got these so that I won’t get a nail through my foot. Nice boots have soft glued on soles that aren’t going to stop a nail.Update: been wearing these almost daily for over a month. I feel justified in elevating my rating of them from a four star to a five star.Update: It’s now October 15th, 2021. Still no problems. Included a photo of me wearing them. I like them. They lace up fast, the canvas uppers facilitates slipping them on, they take a good shine and are comfortable (with insoles). And they just look so damned good!

If you have feet that measure wider than the "4E" option many companies offer this boot does a pretty good job of handling your flippers. I measure from toe to heel as an 10.5 or 11 US but constantly have to buy 2 or 3 sizes higher just to accommodate the width. 13 wide worked for me. It is a little long in the toe and I probably could have gotten away with a 12.5 wide but it isn't offered.Either way, the construction of the boot is overall very good. The boots do have the updated "Panama" sole making it easier to slick mud out of the grooves by stomping on hard ground or with a stick. If you aren't familiar with Vietnam era Jungle boots, these are not water proof. Instead they feature a drain grommet in the sides that will push water out with every step. If you intend to use these for hiking or rucking be sure to pair these with quick drying socks. They also do NOT come with any sort of insole so you will have to add your own, which in my case is a benefit considering the price of the boots is low and I usually toss the pair of insoles for my favorites either way.The most unforgivably lazy manufacting practice in this boot is the lack of washer backings in the eyelets. From the factory, both boots simply had their eyelet grommets folded into themselves with the press dye. This leaves an unfinished, sharp metal surface friction fit into the leather holes, which will pop out easily when the laces are tightened. After 3 months of use they frayed the included boot laces. Since the other aspects of the boot met my standards I opted to replace the eyelets entirely myself, (Pictured on the left boot, right boot still has the OEM eyelets). Additionally none of the exposed leather surfaces have been treated with a tragacanth gum and those ends will fray after a few uses.I would like to give these boots at least 4 stars for their price and fit, however I actually am using these in a jungle setting and need them to stand up to at least 6 months of work prior to replacement. If you are even the slightest bit handy you can replace and treat the issues with this boot yourself.

I bought these for my 13 year old to wear in LOTC this year. Kids grow so fast, and their interests change so quickly…I wasn’t trying to spend $150 on a pair of boots just yet. And these will do nicely! They’re lightweight, come in a nice wide range of sizes, and my son says they’re comfortable. They’re not top quality, okay. If you’re really wearing them hard - long ruck marches on uneven terrain, that sort of thing - they may not be what you’re looking for. But for style/uniform compliance without breaking the bank, they’re perfect. Sizing is weird. I recommend actually measuring your foot and going by the provided size guide. That’s what we did and we got it right on the first try.

This design doesnt make any sense. The holes on the bottom made it so stepping into the smallest puddle got my socks wet. Why on earth would this be marketed as a “jungle” boot when there are holes on the bottom sides of each boot? Jungles are a wet and muddy and WET environment. Maybe i am ignorant but i bought these for hiking in a wet environment and stepped in the smallest amount of water and it got my socks wet. How does this make any sense?

Bought for my son who loves them! As sizing chart for these boots says, they run about 2 sizes large to accommodate thick socks. He is shoe size kids 5 and we ordered boots in size 3.

Product came fast, even for me living in a rural community. Boots are very comfortable and flexible, been using them to hike around for a couple months and they still in good condition.

Me gustó mucho,voy a pedir más ,quedan como un número más ,pero está bien con unas plantillas quedan geniales ,gran artículo muchas Gracias

Great boots! I have bought them before!unfortunately I was send a size 10 W, even so I ordered size 9 (43 EU)Same thing happened to a friend of mine before... wrong size sent!Maybe seller needs to work on quality control when sending items?!

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.)
