These are the hot weather and tropical boots Marines want to go with new ‘jungle jammies’ uniform
By: Shawn Snow  


New hot weather and tropical boots may be in the hands of Marines by late 2019, according to Marine officials.

The tropical boots have been through various stages of development and testing over the past several years and now, according to a post on the government’s business opportunities website, the Corps is ready to order nearly 70,000 pairs.

In 2017, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, stomped around jungle environments testing three tropical boot prototypes from boot manufacturers Danner, Bates and Rocky.
