  Jungle boot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jungle boots are a type of combat boot that is designed for use in jungle warfare or hot, wet and humid environments where a standard leather combat boot would be uncomfortable or unsuitable to wear due to these conditions.
The most well-known type of jungle boot are the ones that the US Armed Forces issued to their personnel during the Vietnam War in which the boot's upper was a mixture of leather for the toe, heel and eyelets and cotton/nylon for the neck of the boot.
The jungle boots that were made for the US armed forces during the Vietnam War sported a direct molded rubber sole (in either a Vibram style tread or a Panama-style tread) which also has a stainless steel plate installed inside the boot's sole to protect the wearer from punji stake traps.

Jungle warfare is a term used to cover the special techniques needed for military units to survive and fight in jungle terrain.
Boots which are designed as protection from the elements may be made of a single closely-stitched piece (of leather, rubber, etc) to prevent the entry of water, mud or dirt through the gaps left between laces and tongue in other types of shoes.
Tall boots, such as those designed for military dress and horseback riding may have a tab, loop or handle at the top known as a bootstrap, allowing one to use fingers or a tool to provide better leverage in getting the boots on.

 DefenseLINK News: Army Gives Marines the Boot
Jungle boots have gone through minor design changes since they were introduced in the 1960s and issued to troops in Vietnam.
The boot is made with nylon uppers and leather bottoms, although the leather is rough-side-out and can't be shined.
The boots' rubber sole has an aggressive tread design and is attached to a new shock-absorbing, cushioning plastic midsole used in the Marine infantry combat boot.

Development of the boot was begun as early as 1955 in an attempt to produce a good combat boot and to overcome the problems encountered in the footwear used during WW2 and Korea.
The main problem with the earlier boot was the tendency of the Goodyear welt stitching to fail, causing the sole to separate from the boot.
These boots were modelled on the WW2, 43 patt combat boot and had a buckled cuff at the ankle, and a Swiss Vibram style mountain boot sole.
