I've searched and found various types, including different makes and sole patterns, so was wondering what people know as to what's screen accurate? Ones I've found: Altama Jungle Boot Viet Nam OD Jungle Boot by RO Viet Nam Jungle Boot by Genesco My G&P/MiM+TM M1A1 PR build guide |

Looks like Altama are out of stock on the sahara jungle boot. Unfortunately, they are not making them anymore. U want the one with the vibram sole. They look like a work boot sole. (not the chunky vulcanized sole) Search "Altama Jungle Sahara" online, maybe some retailers still have them. I think the wiki will help this kind of question. I think I've typed this out several times. |

I only know of one store locally (Sergeants Mess in Chatham) and they have hardly any footwear.  Okay, so reading what everyone says here, I'm looking for: Altama Jungle Sahara Boot Vibram/Panama sole (fine tread, not chunky work boot type) OD Canvas/Nylon upper So the Genesco ones I linked to look the ones to go for.

There's an ebay seller who regularly has them in their ebay store. That's where I got mine...under $30. |

I've been wearing just some all-black generic military-type boot with my USCM gear for the past two years... but I finally got lucky and found some boots that are darn near screen-accurate except for the soles -- and they fit me! Found these Altama's at a semi-local (1.5 hours away) military surplus store for $30.00...

[img]http://www.ripstick.com/USCM/images/USCM_Wellco_Boots_001.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ripstick.com/USCM/images/USCM_Wellco_Boots_002.jpg[/img] I'm really starting to like the sawtooth pattern sole on the Wellco's. I'm thinking those really fit the whole future Marine battlegear footwear ideal.  Now keep in mind... these are not the regular retail prices for these boots. These boots brand-new and in-the-box typically run between $90.00 and $130.00 USD. The ones I picked up above happen to be factory blems at blow-out prices.

Here's the boots: [img]http://www.medwaypvb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scans/pr21.jpg[/img] They're not brand new (cost £43 incl. shipping), but that's okay, as I don't have to 'weather' them now.  They do shine up quite nicely though. My G&P/MiM+TM M1A1 PR build guide |
