Jungle Boots

[bn1966]

Fancied some light weight boots for spring / summer to go with my selvedge denim & Chinos. Went with Pike Bros early Vietnam period jungle boots, yet to arrive, I’ve always been impressed with their products.

Damn things last forever, I still have a pair thats 40 years old .

Oh nice with the vibram sole. More rare than the common panama version

 

[Monsoon]

I wore a pair for years. The soles were completely slick when I got rid of them.

Great. I never had, but my friend did. One minus - "ringing" in all security frameworks of all airports and other same places

Boots drop next week, sweet price too, no Punji plates in these.

I have an original mint unworn pair from 1968, Spike protective of course. I was never able to bring myself to wear them because I don't want them damaged ond worn out.

Hi Enigma
If you really would like to wear them, I can vouch for the fact that they will last longer than we will . However, if you want to save them as a collectors item and artifact of the Vietnam war , then there are several places where they sell repros that can be worn , they just won’t have the spike protection plate in the sole .

Did you try wearing them in the shower a couple of times until the leather softened up a bit ? That’s one way to break them in .

What size are they?

What size are they?

Size 10 Xtra Wide ...... look at the sole by the heel .

 

[bn1966]

They are size 44, tried a number of tried & tested break in methods but the number of blisters being created is just unreal...going to quit while I’m ahead...have never known the like and getting fed up with them now. Someone did comment that they are the narrowest pair of boots they’ve seen me in..maybe thats the problem...20 miles later and covered in plasters still no joy.

 

[ausreenactor]

How 'wide' is the sole across the ball of the foot? How much were you asking?

Ebay link please ......
