yeah garmonts are still super popular at least in my unit. I have belleville sabre. back in AIT we had an MOS transfer who was past airborne infantry in the 82nd and said that belleville sabres were the best and what he wore during his deployment. You guys should also try diffrent vests and ACH for war wallet.

I recommend getting a surplus Alice pack and a good frame, then if you want some added comfort check out the MALICE upgrades for stuff like the straps and pads. It’s affordable and it’s a great pack. The green pack he has is an Alice with some malice straps, possibly more. It’s a good affordable option that is favored by a lot of soldiers. The full malice pack is also an option if you want to shell out a lot of money. Depending on what you plan to use it for there may be better options from companies like mystery ranch that are more outdoorsy/hunting focused but those are usually pretty expensive. Honestly there are so many options for packs you’re better off finding videos recommending particular pack options for what you want it for, a cheap vs expensive video is just going to be super barebones on info that is applicable to you.

My dad was issued original jungle boots in Vietnam. According to my dad. The original jungle boots had an anti punji stake insert, much like insoles for boots/shoes. He said that it was like walking on chicken wire. So everyone in his unit got rid of anti punji stake insert. Now on the improved green jungle boots. The manufacturer put an anti punji stake liner in the sole of the boot. Making the boots more comfortable and still trying to keep troops feet safe.

I remember wearing fire fighter boots for 16 hours a day when i was in civil defense, and in the beginning, i never understood why a single pair was over 300$! But after spending the majority of your week in them, fighting fires, stepping on sharp debris and running around in all kinds of weather and so forth, i never wanted anything but the best! We even tried a similar test, where unless we were on call, we had to use the cheapest pair of rainboots we could for our daily tasks, and most of us had to drop the idea after just 5 hours or so, to avoid destroying our feet for when it mattered...

I never served, but I had a friend that served in the army back in the early 90s. He was an army ranger. We were talking about ranger school and I was asking all types of questions about it. And I finally got to the age old question about what did he think anyone could do to get through ranger school and his answer was this, “there isn’t really much anyone can do to get through ranger school besides go in being as fit as possible, and having the mentality of knowing shit is going to really suck, but needing to push past it…” and then he paused to think about it a little bit more, and said this, “but if I had to think of something as advice for anyone to get through it easier, or what made it easier for me was having dry socks. Always carry extra socks.” Now again I never served, but I think pretty much anyone can know and related to how shitty a day can get when you walk around in wet shoes and socks. So there you go guys, without serving, and not knowing ranger school other than what I watched on TV, I give you the elixir of life from an old school army ranger. Hopefully this reaches someone and they can comment on this one day and let me know if he was right.

I turned to my mate pointed out my boots were acid resistant and we had a laugh. A few months later I walk into a warehouse approach a guy I know and we stand in a puddle on the floor, I ask 'What's going on here?' he points to a hydrochloric acid IBC pallet that's leaking and follow the spill to the puddle I was standing in. Learned that day no matter how crazy it may seem, you never know when you need it. I did remain standing in the puddle to see just how resistant, but boots were better than my patience as I got bored. Moral Don't buy cheap sh*t.

Grunt Proof did a video review on the Rothco Jungle Boots after 2 years of use and abuse and I agree with him after my own experience that they are fantastic for the price. You really do a disservice to the Rothco boots by not putting insoles in them to give them a REAL review. Not including insoles in the boots is actually a good cost saving measure in my opinion, because I have my own preference (gel inserts fyi) for insoles that I use in all my boots.

I've got a couple things to say from my experience with boots. For reference, I'm mostly speaking as someone who went airsofting a lot, and goes out shooting. First, boots totally matter. I used to wear the same pair of Nikes everywhere, including during outdoor activites. Finally I got a pair of Garmont T8s for about $80-$100, and they've held up since, I love them. I also got a pair of leather combat boots, and jungle boots both from the Vietnam era for about $80 together. They're both great, and the jungle boots actually hold up really well to being used. My second point is about those Rotcho jungle boots. Those are 100% something that only Vietnam reenactors should get, and only if they cant find the real deal. There's a few repros of the jungle boots, but most look to be cheap junk, or they're fairly solid but don't look correct. And lastly, I love your guy's mismatched time period clothing and ruck setup. Isreal has the Chocoloate Chip pants with a UCP ruck, and Cameron's got those Crye's with a old Alice pack. Maybe you guys could do a video on combat clothing, or rucks/assault packs

I am a bigger fella, 220 lbs. I cannot stress enough that getting good footwear is super important. Your footwear choice doesn’t just affect your feet, it transmits to your legs, back, and even your neck. So don’t skimp. I used cheap shoes and boots from my teens until my early 20s. Then a friend of mine got me onto Keens. They lasted at least 4 times longer than any of my previous shoes until they outsourced to China and got crappy. But I have been using Merrill’s for a while now and I love them. Got 6 in Merrill Strongfield Tacticals and I love them. Used them this last year for hunting and a ton of hiking even in snow and they are awesome. You get what you pay for.

Here in the UK a popular brand of boot is Alt Berg, based in Yorkshire (in the North of the country where it's pretty rural and hilly). They do a lot of military-style boots designed for different roles, and apparently were saved from going out of business years ago when a couple of soldiers walked past, saw some boots in the window, tried them and bought them - then the next day pretty much the entire barracks went to the shop wanting some because they were so impressed. I'm not military myself but I totally agree that a good pair of boots is essential for anything you want to do on your feet for long periods or on rough ground. Not an area where you want to cheap out when buying your kit! Loved the vid as always guys, keep it up!

I once got a pair of those Rothco jungle boots for just dicking around in the woods, and they were NOT fitted for that kind of use. So Haloween rolls around after that, and I was a Kitchen Manager at the local McD, and we were able to dress up. I dressed up as like a background GI from Full Metal Jacket and thought these could last at least for a costume. Not only did they leave a horrible black oily residue wherever I took a step, they were slippery on the floor, and I had to take them off and switched to my non-slip regulation shoes after wearing them for a measly 30 minutes of helping my crew make burgers. Even though I only wore them for 30 minutes, that night I had a major blister on each heel, and smaller ones on the sides of my foot. Awful boots. They actively hurt the wearer.

Wore GI issued jungle boots for 22 years ('78-'00). First thing we did was shit-can the insert and replace with quality civilian insert. Second thing...completely soaked them in water, and wore them until they dried. We did this in garrison. No Scout (19D), LRSU 11(B), or 0311 (USMC), ever wore boots (of any style) straight from clothing sales. I wore jungle boots in every deployment (except Norway, Germany, and Korea...and MCMWTC), including the "desert" version issued to us in Somalia. I still have a re-soled pair, an unworn pair, and the "deserts" I was issued. It took over 50 years for the "jungle boot" to be replaced (and today, there's currently a new proto-type jungle boot being fielded in Hawaii). Anything "Chinese" will get you what you pay for.

In defense of the jungle boots, they're purpose built to walk through wet, thick mud and in environments where you cannot stay dry (jungle). They have no sole because that rigidity with those wide lugs on the sole allows to evacuate the mud, more traction and they were also designed to push out water from those 2 hole on the side. If you want to really put them to the test, you need to go in the muddiest, wettest environment, like waist deep in water. I'm sure they would do very well.

I used to wear a pair of steel toed Bellevilles to work. I used the ones with the Gortex liner b/c I worked in marine construction doing dock installation and repair so I was in the water a lot. As long as you kept the water line below the top your feet stayed dry. They were expensive but seemed to last longer than most other commercial work boots and they actually maintained their waterproofing. I still have 3 pair that are still in good shape. I never had any foot problems even after spending 10 hours walking on concrete or standing in putrid river water. I'd pair them with a thick pair of merino wool socks in the winter time or use a thin boot sock with an extra heel pad insert in the summer time. The leather didn't burn when it got hit with sparks from a grinder or cutting torch. I always tended to go with a military boot b/c I figure if its made to perform in combat roles then it will likely stand up to whatever I'm doing at work.

Good way to get rid of the extra lace length it to wrap it around the top of the boot on your calf. Then tie your knot then tuck the butterflies into the boot between the tongue and sides. Keeps the laces nice and taught when tying the knot and keeps the laces from flapping about making noise. As well as tucked like that no chaffing compared to if you tucked it directly inside the boot itself.

The comparison isn't very fair, as these are two completely different boot designs, made for different conditions. The hard "Panama" sole with its deep lugs of the Jungle boot are meant for soft mud and water, with drainage holes and thin nylon upper for quick drying. Of course they will feel harder on pavement. And you compare them with membrane-lined warm boots for colder climate? Obviously - choose your gear according to where you will operate.

Thank you for actually calling this out. I have a pair of jungle boots and tbh I would only use them when it’s muddy out or snow because I wear thick socks. And mine don’t get snow in them through the drainage holes. I would recommend jungle boots to anyone who hunts or does outside work on lawns. But for airsoft or any thing else just wear tac boots, 80s styled leather boots or modern desert boots.

A lot of people hate on jungle boots for being bad specifically the panama sole ones, I feel like it’s because of the misrepresentation of the cheap amazon knock-offs. Maybe you guys should do a comparison of a cheap vs expensive jungle boots. Though I guess it’s also pretty situational, I live in a tropical country and I love my pair. It got me through many places, I even swam through a cave with it.

I can't believe the military would even allow you to wear boots like that. The outsoles are just glued on. Imagine being in a life or death situation and your outsole falls off. Leather boots are always the way to go. The have leather insoles, if you want more cushion, throw in a insole. They're tough to break in, but the comfort lasts forever, and they're easily resole-able.

I recommend getting a surplus Alice pack and a good frame, then if you want some added comfort check out the MALICE upgrades for stuff like the straps and pads. It’s affordable and it’s a great pack. The green pack he has is an Alice with some malice straps, possibly more. It’s a good affordable option that is favored by a lot of soldiers. The full malice pack is also an option if you want to shell out a lot of money. Depending on what you plan to use it for there may be better options from companies like mystery ranch that are more outdoorsy/hunting focused but those are usually pretty expensive. Honestly there are so many options for packs you’re better off finding videos recommending particular pack options for what you want it for, a cheap vs expensive video is just going to be super barebones on info that is applicable to you.

My dad was issued original jungle boots in Vietnam. According to my dad. The original jungle boots had an anti punji stake insert, much like insoles for boots/shoes. He said that it was like walking on chicken wire. So everyone in his unit got rid of anti punji stake insert. Now on the improved green jungle boots. The manufacturer put an anti punji stake liner in the sole of the boot. Making the boots more comfortable and still trying to keep troops feet safe.

I remember wearing fire fighter boots for 16 hours a day when i was in civil defense, and in the beginning, i never understood why a single pair was over 300$! But after spending the majority of your week in them, fighting fires, stepping on sharp debris and running around in all kinds of weather and so forth, i never wanted anything but the best! We even tried a similar test, where unless we were on call, we had to use the cheapest pair of rainboots we could for our daily tasks, and most of us had to drop the idea after just 5 hours or so, to avoid destroying our feet for when it mattered...

I never served, but I had a friend that served in the army back in the early 90s. He was an army ranger. We were talking about ranger school and I was asking all types of questions about it. And I finally got to the age old question about what did he think anyone could do to get through ranger school and his answer was this, “there isn’t really much anyone can do to get through ranger school besides go in being as fit as possible, and having the mentality of knowing shit is going to really suck, but needing to push past it…” and then he paused to think about it a little bit more, and said this, “but if I had to think of something as advice for anyone to get through it easier, or what made it easier for me was having dry socks. Always carry extra socks.” Now again I never served, but I think pretty much anyone can know and related to how shitty a day can get when you walk around in wet shoes and socks. So there you go guys, without serving, and not knowing ranger school other than what I watched on TV, I give you the elixir of life from an old school army ranger. Hopefully this reaches someone and they can comment on this one day and let me know if he was right.

I once laughed when I read all the things my boots could handle, the marketing made it sound like they were indestructible. I turned to my mate pointed out my boots were acid resistant and we had a laugh. A few months later I walk into a warehouse approach a guy I know and we stand in a puddle on the floor, I ask 'What's going on here?' he points to a hydrochloric acid IBC pallet that's leaking and follow the spill to the puddle I was standing in. Learned that day no matter how crazy it may seem, you never know when you need it. I did remain standing in the puddle to see just how resistant, but boots were better than my patience as I got bored. Moral Don't buy cheap sh*t.

I've had that same design of jungle boots for a while and they are the best boots I've had.
Grunt Proof did a video review on the Rothco Jungle Boots after 2 years of use and abuse and I agree with him after my own experience that they are fantastic for the price. You really do a disservice to the Rothco boots by not putting insoles in them to give them a REAL review. Not including insoles in the boots is actually a good cost saving measure in my opinion, because I have my own preference (gel inserts fyi) for insoles that I use in all my boots.
I like how Cameron is Wearing Multicam as he served later than Israel who's wearing dcu the older camo
Loved the video, you guys never make a dull one. Do you have the link to the Garmont boots by chance?
I've got a couple things to say from my experience with boots. For reference, I'm mostly speaking as someone who went airsofting a lot, and goes out shooting. First, boots totally matter. I used to wear the same pair of Nikes everywhere, including during outdoor activites. Finally I got a pair of Garmont T8s for about $80-$100, and they've held up since, I love them. I also got a pair of leather combat boots, and jungle boots both from the Vietnam era for about $80 together. They're both great, and the jungle boots actually hold up really well to being used. My second point is about those Rotcho jungle boots. Those are 100% something that only Vietnam reenactors should get, and only if they cant find the real deal. There's a few repros of the jungle boots, but most look to be cheap junk, or they're fairly solid but don't look correct. And lastly, I love your guy's mismatched time period clothing and ruck setup. Isreal has the Chocoloate Chip pants with a UCP ruck, and Cameron's got those Crye's with a old Alice pack. Maybe you guys could do a video on combat clothing, or rucks/assault packs
God... takes me back to when I was an infantryman in the Brazilian army, 99% of the time, we would be using some variation of the jungle boot. Always hated having to spend time polishing them to a mirror-like finish... Btw that old GI rucksack is still in use in Brazil

I am a bigger fella, 220 lbs. I cannot stress enough that getting good footwear is super important. Your footwear choice doesn’t just affect your feet, it transmits to your legs, back, and even your neck. So don’t skimp. I used cheap shoes and boots from my teens until my early 20s. Then a friend of mine got me onto Keens. They lasted at least 4 times longer than any of my previous shoes until they outsourced to China and got crappy. But I have been using Merrill’s for a while now and I love them. Got 6 in Merrill Strongfield Tacticals and I love them. Used them this last year for hunting and a ton of hiking even in snow and they are awesome. You get what you pay for.
The chemistry you two have and the sense of humor is fantastic
Green jungles are spike protection. So, when you break them in, you’re breaking in a leather-steel-leather sandwich under that Panama sole. The rothco looks the same outside, but on the bottom they’re crap.
I got two pairs of boots i use on deployment and i never have a problem with the price. All that matters to me is they fit and they are comfortable as soon as i put them on because that sets the tone. I have oakley light assault 2.0 for my everyday patrol and Lowa gortex for cold/stormy days

I’m hiking the PCT this year in my 1988 surplus green jungles. I’m currently breaking in. The way the sole breaks in, it makes the bottom of your boots both, injection molded to your foot, and thin as possible 🤙
Here in the UK a popular brand of boot is Alt Berg, based in Yorkshire (in the North of the country where it's pretty rural and hilly). They do a lot of military-style boots designed for different roles, and apparently were saved from going out of business years ago when a couple of soldiers walked past, saw some boots in the window, tried them and bought them - then the next day pretty much the entire barracks went to the shop wanting some because they were so impressed. I'm not military myself but I totally agree that a good pair of boots is essential for anything you want to do on your feet for long periods or on rough ground. Not an area where you want to cheap out when buying your kit! Loved the vid as always guys, keep it up!

The chemistry you guys have is easily the best part of the channel. Informative, hilarious, and is like a friend you haven’t seen in a long time. If you guys could review hiking packs, that’d be awesome!
If you're even thinking about the Rothco's, just get a pair of surplus Hot Weather Type II's instead for about $50.
Learned the hard way back in the 80s. Wore cheap jungle boots for ROTC training. 2 steps into a paddy field, soles were left in the muck.
I used Belleville boots because of the foam capabilities on the sole of the feet.. made me feel like I rucked on the clouds.
My garmonts will always be one of my best purchases while I was in.
My friend was just telling me about his Garmont boots. Even after several deployments they still look in great shape and hold up well.
Jungle boots are fine, just go to your local convenience store and buy 4 layers of shoe soles for $5 and pack every single layer into them. They are very comfortable if you do that, the only thing I regret doing is hiking fully loaded with steel equipment 20km through mountains in them before I padded them up.
this vid sparked my curiosity so i went looking for boots for work( im a gardener/landscaper so boots are a must) and i did not know that NIKE makes combat boots!!!

I once got a pair of those Rothco jungle boots for just dicking around in the woods, and they were NOT fitted for that kind of use. So Haloween rolls around after that, and I was a Kitchen Manager at the local McD, and we were able to dress up. I dressed up as like a background GI from Full Metal Jacket and thought these could last at least for a costume. Not only did they leave a horrible black oily residue wherever I took a step, they were slippery on the floor, and I had to take them off and switched to my non-slip regulation shoes after wearing them for a measly 30 minutes of helping my crew make burgers. Even though I only wore them for 30 minutes, that night I had a major blister on each heel, and smaller ones on the sides of my foot. Awful boots. They actively hurt the wearer.

As a former 11B, this is a subject dear to my heart. I ETSd in 2000. My first hitch was '84-'90 and was issued those garbage throw away chevron boots. The next generation boots were much better but they were heavy and took a long time to break in. The more recent issue boots are unbelievably good. Comfortable as running shoes, like walking on marshmallows. And if you get the right ones, super high quality. I've gotten nearly new Thorogoods for
Wore GI issued jungle boots for 22 years ('78-'00). First thing we did was shit-can the insert and replace with quality civilian insert. Second thing...completely soaked them in water, and wore them until they dried. We did this in garrison. No Scout (19D), LRSU 11(B), or 0311 (USMC), ever wore boots (of any style) straight from clothing sales. I wore jungle boots in every deployment (except Norway, Germany, and Korea...and MCMWTC), including the "desert" version issued to us in Somalia. I still have a re-soled pair, an unworn pair, and the "deserts" I was issued. It took over 50 years for the "jungle boot" to be replaced (and today, there's currently a new proto-type jungle boot being fielded in Hawaii). Anything "Chinese" will get you what you pay for.
Bro we use these "jungle boots" as standard in brazilian army. What we do to make it more confort is put an insole made of silicon or other material for make it confort. Also we use some vert thin socks so when our feet get they don't rot.
It'd be cool to see you guys run through some CQB drills in like a Killhouse.
Iv always just taken my extra lace, wrapped it around my calf section and tied it wherever I could get a solid knot. I'm amazed neither of them did that my dad was in the army and that's how he taught me to lace my boots and when I don't he gives me shit for it.
As someone who works and wears boots all the time, I agree with their logic on footwear.
I have a pair of those jungle boots just for airsoft after that I don't use them for anything else I even had to add bit memory foam now closes too $200 is Rothco V-Mas
I've worked in a factory, done volunteer firefighting and ride a motorcycle, it's nothing like the military, but the same rules apply. Good boots are a must.

I wore Danner rivet tfx when I was in the army. They are worth every penny and feel like tennis shoes. I think they run around $3-400 these days. I work in wildfire now and get custom boots made through JK boots. They hurt a bit at about $800 a pair. Once again, it's worth every penny. Your feet, knees, hips, and back will be thanking you with every step you make.
for the extra lace we always just wrapped them around back of your leg then tied them in the front.
When I first wear those boots I was in PAIN, and I'm already at the point I don't feel that pain anymore. The sucky part it's my only footwear.

I use cheap Mil-tec jungle boots (i also have black surplus ones) and i have to say that i walked around 100km in them and with good socks they are fine. They hold leg pretty nice, played few airsoft games in them and they are 7/10. But when i got the surplus ones i was shocked how much better they are. Better laces, they hold leg better, they are more comfortable.
In defense of the jungle boots, they're purpose built to walk through wet, thick mud and in environments where you cannot stay dry (jungle). They have no sole because that rigidity with those wide lugs on the sole allows to evacuate the mud, more traction and they were also designed to push out water from those 2 hole on the side. If you want to really put them to the test, you need to go in the muddiest, wettest environment, like waist deep in water. I'm sure they would do very well.
A way that I tie my boots is I bring them around and cross them in the back bring back to the front and I also have a space after the lace hole to make it more flexible my grandpa taught me this because he did it in the army
God i love these two. They really made it for them selves and it's really cool.

I never had any foot problems even after spending 10 hours walking on concrete or standing in putrid river water. I'd pair them with a thick pair of merino wool socks in the winter time or use a thin boot sock with an extra heel pad insert in the summer time. The leather didn't burn when it got hit with sparks from a grinder or cutting torch. I always tended to go with a military boot b/c I figure if its made to perform in combat roles then it will likely stand up to whatever I'm doing at work.
More! I want more!
Good way to get rid of the extra lace length it to wrap it around the top of the boot on your calf. Then tie your knot then tuck the butterflies into the boot between the tongue and sides. Keeps the laces nice and taught when tying the knot and keeps the laces from flapping about making noise. As well as tucked like that no chaffing compared to if you tucked it directly inside the boot itself.

Bonus if your blouse your pants. They don't undo themselves after moving around a bunch cause the wrap around locks your pants in place.
I have a pair of jungle boots, they just need some in-soles and they're perfect. If you're on a tight budget and need some boots, I highley recommend the jungle boot.
I like my pair of jungle boots because i use a method of "double sole" memory foam at the bottom and rubber sole at the top and it work great for me
The comparison isn't very fair, as these are two completely different boot designs, made for different conditions. The hard "Panama" sole with its deep lugs of the Jungle boot are meant for soft mud and water, with drainage holes and thin nylon upper for quick drying. Of course they will feel harder on pavement. And you compare them with membrane-lined warm boots for colder climate? Obviously - choose your gear according to where you will operate.

Thank you for actually calling this out. I have a pair of jungle boots and tbh I would only use them when it’s muddy out or snow because I wear thick socks. And mine don’t get snow in them through the drainage holes. I would recommend jungle boots to anyone who hunts or does outside work on lawns. But for airsoft or any thing else just wear tac boots, 80s styled leather boots or modern desert boots.
A lot of people hate on jungle boots for being bad specifically the panama sole ones, I feel like it’s because of the misrepresentation of the cheap amazon knock-offs. Maybe you guys should do a comparison of a cheap vs expensive jungle boots. Though I guess it’s also pretty situational, I live in a tropical country and I love my pair. It got me through many places, I even swam through a cave with it.
Combat tops. You could trip ripping them, driving over them etc!
I use to run 5.11’s, they are good enough for the price, but could be greatly improved upon. Just recently picked up a pair of Solomon’s, game changer!

i have pair of 5.11's atac 2.0 8 and that was the best choice i made that day because i wear these boots over my converses
Don't forget there is always the option of buying military surplus, where you can get top end boots for half the price if they've been quality graded correctly you can get a real bargain!
I can't believe the military would even allow you to wear boots like that. The outsoles are just glued on. Imagine being in a life or death situation and your outsole falls off. Leather boots are always the way to go. The have leather insoles, if you want more cushion, throw in a insole. They're tough to break in, but the comfort lasts forever, and they're easily resole-able.
If y'all want decent jungle boots that do their job and don't hurt as bad...get Altama or McRae. If you plan to get the Garmont T8 you don't have to spend $200 and get the Goretex models, the T8 Bifida standard model is $155 and has a good mountain sole.

altama jungle boots are where it is at. i did over 1000 miles on them. i did many many videos of them in the mt hood forest. gun videos. mre videos. hiking videos. mushroom hunting videos. no extra insoles. and i am a huge huge dude. no issues. still like new after 6 years or so. i shine them up 2 times a summer or so. leather is still mint. etc.
I know you guys aren't primarily a review channel but it'd be interesting to see a midrange item in the mix or best bang for your buck.
