>>1480336Majority of boot companies produce trash for the lowest common denominator. I work in an outdoor store and no matter what i tell local hikers, theyll buy goretex lined shoes, despite the local environment being hot, humid temporate rainforest. Minimum wage, but cost price is pretty good and work is AFK for me.
The jungle boot concept is the antithesis of waterproof shoes. The idea is to be able to dry extremely quickly. The GOruck shoes seem to understand (from experience) goretex shoes are trash outside of frostbite environments. Anyway, i got a pair of Altama OTB maritine assault mid’s instead.
>>1482445Hey, i got these shoes a few days ago. Always go with a wide fit, unless your feet are toothpaste tubes. The insoles are a weird patterned rubber. The laces are a weird stretchy flat lace. So far they’ve been very comfy. My /k/ waifu who works at the surplus store told me they should dry in ~20mins. The grip the sole provides is insanely good. My friend who works in a kitchen swears by them. I went with OD green mid height for that classic jungle boot look. Very happy with them so far.
