After 24 years of wearing Army boots, I never did like any of them. The jungle boots never lasted long, and my feet sweat easily in any boot in any weather. I found all leather, high quality hiking boots the best for me year round. I agree on the socks. They make a huge difference. I were Smartwool or other similar (all the outdoor companies market their own now) socks. Wool is the only thing that seems to work for my feet, in any weather.
