Jungle Boots - V-Trax Sole, Slightly Blemished

I recently went shopping for some new boots and wound up picking up a few different pairs, and these were one of them. Whatever the "blemish" is so tiny that I couldn't find it at a glance and I'm not really concerned with it.

The best description of these that I can really give you in just a few words would be "Modernized Jungle Boots". If you're familiar with real USGI Jungle Boots you already know some of what you're getting with these. Arch support is good, but not super outstanding. Ventilation is excellent, at the cost of having no waterproof qualities whatsoever. Ankle support is pretty poor, but then again, these don't weigh much more than tennis shoes and those have no ankle support at all.

These do have some pretty big pluses compared to your usual jungle boots. The stainless steel spike plate has been removed, which makes them much more flexible. I doubt many of us actually need the spike plates anyway. The V-Trax sole on these things is absolutely outstanding, and I think it greatly improves comfort on hard floors where the original style Panama Sole is pretty pointless anyway.

I was very satisfied with my order of the military style jungle boots, I was in the infantry in the Marines. These were the same boots I wore when I was deployed & day to day.

Definitely a great quality boot and other than a little scuff on the sole I can't find why they were listed as Slightly Blemished...you could mark the sole getting out of the car with them on. These are "no brainers" if you need jungle boots. Great looking and fitting boots.
