Rothco Jungle Boots - 8 Inch - Durable All-Terrain Boot with Lightweight Comfort

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!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is an amazing product. Just like bootcamp. I should have gotten a size smaller. These are well made!!! Real leather

-I’ve worn these boots on several terrain types and they’ve done wonderfully as far as comfort with exception for rocky terrain, in which you can virtually feel every rock under your step.-Great tread grip, no complaint there.-Panama sole began to separate from the boot but only needed minor shoe gooing.-Leather is cheap but durable and flexible.-The laces are garbage and were immediately replaced with speed lace.-The canvas carries a stench but I oddly find it satisfying to smell lol.-Boots are lightweight which is outstanding.-I usually wear an 11 or 11.5. A 10W was perfect for me.-Overall I love the look and fit of the boot.Conclusion: If you just want a pair of jungle boots but are on a budget these aren’t bad at all. They’re comfortable once broken in, and for the price durable as hell.Some people have given these bad reviews, but after a few months of hiking and rucking with a 50lb pack for upwards of 12 miles at a time, these boots have surpassed any expectations I had regarding them.

Bought these 5 months ago, the uppers have lots of cracks where the toes flex and there's a hole in the left boot. I am hard on my boots, I wear them 5 days a week and my job involves lots of crouching and kneeling with intermittent exposure to sub freezing temperatures. I also haven't oiled them like I usually do with leather because I wasn't sure if it could penetrate whatever they used to treat the leather (or if it was genuine leather, a tag in the box claimed it was top grain but even now I can't be sure due to the artificially smooth plastic-esque top coat). The soles are also starting to get pretty worn down. I'm not anticipating getting more than another month out of this pair.The fit is on the large side, but that leaves room for decent insoles (you'll want a pair).At this price point I can't say I'm surprised at the relatively short life span, but I've also had expensive boots give in at my job in less than a year (usually seams and soles rather than the actual upper leather though). I think it's fair for this price point, but it is definitely not a long lived or heavy duty option.

My Father just loves these boots and asks for a pair every year for summer outside activities. The BEST part is they are reasonably priced and go up to size 15 which is Dad’s Size!!!

Let me start by saying that I was excited for these boots. I've been wanting jungle boots for a while, especially the Rothco brand as they seemed to be relatively high quality. I've watched reviews, looked at how exactly they're built, and have worn several pairs about a decade ago.These are so low quality it's borderline upsetting. I've had them for a grand total of 4-5 days and I'm already considering throwing them out. Massively uncomfortable, even after multiple attempts at forming the leather, the eyelets are extremely poorly made, the sizing seems completely inaccurate. All around an avoid for me.After the first two outings in these, two eyelets on the left boot and three eyelets on the right had worked themselves out of their seating. When not addressed, this can cause fraying or cutting of the boot lace. The sizing of the boots seems to be all over the place, both are marked as a 9R, but one boot shows obvious bulging along the front edges and doesn't seat the insole the same way as the other. I can't recommend these boots to anyone - I even went as far as informing a friend I'd no longer be buying him a pair as a gift.

Good product and great service.

Order two sizes smaller than normal. Even with heavy socks, one size smaller is too big. I am normally a 13W I ordered a 12 and it is too big.
