I own two pairs of Timberland 6 inch boots and they work fine and look nice too IMO. Ifyou plan on using them a lto you might ant to get some gel soles as the sole in the shoe is pretty hard. I got a pair of brown ones for 70-80 bucks, the black and wheat (the famous gangsta color) will run you somewhere ovr 100 depending on where you get them.

Fuck it, I'm just going to get a pair of jungle boots ( hopefully I can find a pair in size 13 wide instead of the usual size 25 extra skinny)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any jungle boots that fit so I bought a pair of Corcorans. They're exactly the same as my current boots except the have a steel shank and are one inch shorter

I got my Corcorans today and I'm PISSED. The boot they sent me is smaller than they are labeled and apparently, Wide width Corcoran boots are narrower than normal width! I should have gone to Army Surplus and grabbed the largest size boot available

THREAD NECROMANCY!!!

I bought a pair of Ropers



I'm going to get a pair of cheap Jungle Boots for working and I'm going to use the Bates as camp boots because they stand up to mud better than jungle boots

I replaced the issue shit boot, its heel structurestarts falling apart and digging into your heel. It also didnt feel comfortable. I bought some SWAT brand boots at a surplus store with the zip up side so you dont need to tie them, theyre confortable and sturdy. Not expensive either.

Seems like I had a pair of side-zip boots under that name. The zipper on one of them broke off two months after I got them.
