This a more specific follow-up to a previous question. I have always heard great things about old fashioned jungle boots from older veterans who had them. McRae makes a pair in coyote brown I am interested in. Would you pick new aftermarket boots, or should I stick with the tried-and-true jungles?

Jungle boots were the only issue boots that worked for me. I jumped with them in the 82nd, although that was frowned on.

Spent only a couple of years with the 82d (84-86) but back then the only boots we wore while jumping or in the field were jungle boots. We also still wore the Vietnam era Jungle Fatigues. Which also brings back the memorable "travel light-freeze at night".
