Jungle Boots

Jungle boots are ideally used in jungle warfare, as well as humid, wet environments. This type of rugged, lightweight footwear can prove to be a real asset for maneuvering in regions where the usual leather combat boot would be impractical. Jungle boot soles are protected by a steel plate, while the upper canvas of the boot allows for ventilation during humid weather. In addition, water drains in the form of screened eyelets provide for increased comfort as well as waterproof linings.

Military jungle boots were first developed prior to World War II for U.S. forces deployed to Panama. Various improvements have been made over the years to increase durability, comfort, and strength.  The modern jungle boots of today were utilized by troops during the Vietnam War and were a model for the combat boots used later in the Middle East operations of recent years.

Altama jungle boots have been manufactured for military personnel since the end of the Vietnam War, and this company continues to be one of the top producers of jungle boot wear today. Two versions of the boot are available in either green or black cotton/nylon styles. Altama has supplied combat footwear for servicemen and women for over forty years, and their brand has proven a hit with civilians as well.
