Why not use the old combat boot and field it quicker. I wonder if we will have to get it made in China..... (That is a joke, I believe these contracts require US production.)

Thanks for sharing SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint. As somebody who previous worked with PEO Soldier when I as assigned to/supported the Pentagon, I think it might make sense to use the jungle boot design with steel inserted against punji stakes as a basic design instead of starting from scratch.
Certainly it make sense to have Natick Labs contract with US boot makers instead of outsourcing overseas.
Thanks for mentioning me SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL

LTC Stephen F. here is a good Jungle/'Jump boot cadence:
Up in the Morning (Army Running Cadence)
Up in the morning right be ‘fore dawn
Roll out of bed and put my jump boots on
Eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as a hound dog by noon
Went to the mess hall on my knees
“Mess Sergeant, Mess Sergeant feed me please!”
Mess Sergeant said witha big ol’grin
“If you wanna be Airborne you gotta be thin”
Up in the morning at the break of day
Working so hard we never play
Running through the jungle where the sun don’t shine
All I do is double time
