Jungle boots,what do you wear??

[BOD]

Jungle boots are great.

But I have learn to love 'Adidas Kampung' (village Adidas).
Made entirely of rubber, worn by rubber tappers, indigenous people, fishermen...you name it.

Price? About RM10...maybe around 2.50 pound.

I used to be more positive about them till I was solo in the bush in Borneo and a unseen wooden spike/ sliver/splinter went straight through the THICKEST part of the sole into my heel driving dirt and Lord knows what else into the wound. Whatever it was it was a potent bacteria cos normally it would take a couple of days to make you realise you were in trouble.

By morning the next morning the heel and calf began to throb. Had an uncomfortable walk out. Maybe I should post that escapade.

Useful shoes but I think the studded version is better safety wise

I have the Magnum ones which I wear at work. (Outback OZ) and find them great in the heat I also have a pair of Alt-Berg jnuglies which I am breaking in at the moment (Got them on my last visit back to the UK) both are very comfy. Got the Alt-Berg after seeing the review from the bloke who walked the amazon if he only used 3 pairs for the whole trip they have got to be good. Plan on doing the Kokoda walk in the next few years with them.

Alt-Berg Panama soled boots seem very tempting!!! Timberlands still going strong though!

Go for the Alt-bergs they said the P&P Was about $50 to Australia so very good value in my eyes.
