I find the "jungle" boots to be pretty comfy. The soles and heels of them tend to be pretty soft and wear out quite fast, especially when worn on pavement.

I both like and hate the drains on them. I never liked the idea of water seeping into the boot when I step in a shallow puddle, but the drains actually work pretty well at getting the water out.

The mostly fabric upper breathes well. My feet sweat but it is not a problem with this style of boots.

I wear nylon socks as liners and an outer wool/synthetic blend socks.

I like the protective sole plate in them as it helps deal with the bigger gravel chunks and other stuff that I occasionally step on. It spreads the impact out over a larger area. otherwise I feel it every time.

I like the nice ankle support too.

In fact, i just bought another pair. New old stock. labeled 4-97.
