Hate to bring up a thread this old, but it seemed more appropriate than starting one of my own.

Having read a lot of threads about boots here, there are a few recurring patterns that make me curious.

First off, green jungle boots are preferred over black jungle boots. Why? Is there a significant difference between them to merit this? (According to the Wellco website, the only difference seems to be green jungles are made of a different material and have only eyelets for laces, instead of speed lacing.)

On that subject, do you prefer speed lacing or all eyelets? Can 550 cord be used in either, or only in the all eyelet set up?

Finally, everyone seems to be glad that the old all leather boots are gone. But then, a lot of people say that jungle boots are their favorite boots. Jungles seem pretty similar to all leathers. Does this mean that ICBs are way better than jungle boots too?

Thanks,
Doyle

EDIT TO ADD: The Vibram Sierra sole on Belleville and Altama ICBs seems very similar to the Tuff Kushion design of Wellco. Are they the same?
