Jungle boots for fun and fighting

by Tactical Boot Store

If you are in the wild by your choice or other wise, you need a special gear in order to survive. One of the survival gear are the jungle boots, originally designed for the security forces, however now jungle boots are for everyone who can afford them. The requirement of the jungle boots would be quite different from the ones used in the normal terrains. The surface of the jungle is uneven, sometimes damp, and needs climbing up. In addition to the surface, the climate of the jungle may not be just cold. The climate can vary from temperate, hot to humid. In such situations the jungle boots are the best choices to make.

Jungle BootsJungle boots were actually designed for combat in jungle settings. The jungle would throw up hot, humid and moist condition. Also, due to prolonged walking and running the feet would sweat. Keeping these arduous factors in mind, the normal leather used in army boots would not serve the purpose. The jungle boots would need breathing leather, more ventilation to loose the wetness inside and should be comfortable to wear apart from being sturdy and durable. The one stand out requirement is that the jungle boots should be flexible to match the difficult surface that the jungles offer.

In case you are going to the wear the jungle boots to go hiking there are certain aspects that one needs to consider. The jungle boots usually have a deep flexible tread which makes the grip better. The soles should be soft to ensure greater traction. The hard soles would not allow proper grip. The height of the jungle boots should at least be ankle high, at times up to the calf. The height of the jungle boots ensures greater support to the ankle and reduces stress. Due to presence of collar, which is soft and wide, the pebbles are kept out. The uppers of the jungle boots are made of soft material, which is water resistant.

The toe of the jungle boots should have adequate padding for protection. The heels and toe should have insoles, which have adequate cushioning. The boots should fit in well, loosing fitting jungle boots would cause the feet to slip inside, slowing down the movement. If the jungle boots are too tight then the toe might hurt after some time. There should be proper socks worn, the socks should be thick and allow the jungle boots to fit firmly, not too tightly. Jungle boots, which are too tight, restrict the blood circulation to the feet, causing them to go numb. Internally, the jungle boot should have a firm insulation all over, to ward of any dampness.

The jungle boots have upper part called the ‘uppers’ made of combination of soft leather and canvas lining. This combination makes the jungle boots rugged and durable. The suede leather, is suitable form of leather, since it is resistant to wear and comfortable to wear. The canvas lining ensures that the wetness outside is not passed into the jungle boots. A wet tread in the jungle can be the worst experience. Also the soles of the jungle boots should be water resistant. The lining of water resistant resin is applied on the junctions where the upper and the sole meet. The tread of the jungle boots should be so flexible that when you dab it with your nails it should be squeezed but should retain shape in seconds. The treads or venation on the boots should occupy the full or at least half of the length of the jungle boots. With these features the jungle boots are sure to be your best partner in the jungle.
