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

Cumple con mis expectativas

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!

Good Product

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.

Rothco has amazing customer service. The boots are great, but we seemed to have gotten one pair that just didn't hold up (the other pair that is being used in my household is just fine!). They made it right with no hassle and no questions asked, as it should be. We will definitely be shopping with them more for our Young Marines' needs!

I've owned these in the past.I had a lot of back pain in the past, but not lately (last 5 or 6 years). I wondered if the back pain could be related to these boots.My last set of boots (not these jungle boots) wore out too quickly and cost 3 times as much as these. So i bought another set of these jungle boots but this time i also bought a set of inserts for them. Superfeet Black Premium InsolesWithout the inserts, i was standing on concrete talking with a friend and starting to get back pain that reminded me of pain in years past. after i bought the insert things are much better. Although the inserts were more than the boots, both together are still much cheaper than the last non-jungle boots i owned. The jungle boots will last much longer too.------------------------UPDATE----------------------------------------------------It's only July and i have worn these out. There is a split through the bottom.I mentioned that i've owned these in the past (above), but these are clearly not the same boots i used when i was in the military. They do look like the exact boots, but don't last anything like the originals. If they were the same boots, they would have lasted years not 4 months. I can't blame heavy usage for why these failed so quickly. I'm a computer tech, not a construction worker (which i've been in the past). My job wouldn't wear these out so fast. Another detail about the usage of these boots, is that half of my time i'm usually wearing sandals. i only wear these boots when i work (4 days a week).So long story short, these have to be made of very low quality material.For those that care to know, you don't quite get what you pay for with these. $27 is cheap, but you'd expect at least a year for cheap boots.I don't recommend anybody buying these.
