The military jungle boot was
developed during World War II
for combat in jungle terrain.
Military jungle boots are
military combat boots designed
for use in jungle warfare.
Military jungle boots feature
vent holes in the instep for
ventilation and drainage of
moisture. Regular standard
military combat boots are
unsuitable and uncomfortable
to wear in humid and wet
environments. Military jungle
boots generally come with a
panama sole or ripple sole. In
1944, the Panama sole was
first developed by U.S. Army
Sergeant Raymond Dobie, which
used a series of angled rubber
lugs in the soles to push soft
mud from the soles, clearing
them and providing much better
grip in greasy clay or mud.
Military jungle boots can be
worn by everyone for outdoor
activities such as camping and
hiking or for comfort.
