if you want boots for civilian use like hicking, buy civilian boots. Military boots are most likely mode by the lowest bidder and they hold togheter for a while. My experience is that civilan boots are more comfort. Take care of you feet, your country may need them sometime.

If you are going to Jungle trekking, I think a Desert boot will not fit you. The soles are not made for jungle trekking. You must understand that the boots have diffrent purpose. For Desert boots, the exterial surface is rough, which is not good for Jungle trekking. I think the best boots are still those from your country's Army. I am currently using one of the boots that my country issue. They are designed by Reebok and are quite good, water proof and lots of support.

Texas has a very small jungle....really, it's forest. But thanks for information, Zander.

I guess I'll have to save the money to buy a better desert combat boot.

This combat boot looks cool. BUT it is expensive.

nope going for good ones

Ok, so you are trekking in the Jungle or Desert? I think that the terrain you are trekking in really determine the type of boots you are buying.

Ha ha when I was in Alaska we would have to use these huge "bunny" boots. But that was during the winter, during the summer while hiking I would use... well depends on the hiking. Depends on the terrain I would use moutain climbing boots, your standard black leather boot, or shoes.

But like everyone keeps saying it all depends upon the terrain it's going to be used for, and your price range.

Depends on where you look. I believe that www.sportsmansguide.com has good deals on them. I can't remember the exact prices, but I believe some are about $69.97 (corrected) a pair, up to $169.97 a pair.

LOL Percival, yes I still have my bunny boots. Goofy, but WARM.

Also, Gigabrain, trust me when I say this, DO NOT bring your own boots to basic. You will thank me later.
