Roger that. I have tried that but it didn't help so I just left them a little loose in that area. Thanks for the feed back. Have you or do you experience the same problem with the Oakleys?

Wellco
Does anyone have a pair of Wellco jungle boots? I've heard good things but don't have any personal experience and I'd like to hear from someone who has/had them.
Thanks.

They are the same as the issue boot, in some versions.
Got a pair, like them fine, decent summer weight boot.
Mine tend to blister my heel if I step out too fast. Probably need better orthotics.

I have 2 pair of Wellco Jungles; one with ripple soles and the other has the tough Tuffcushion sole. Both are very comfortable with the exception of needing to have the heel caps removed.
I also have a pair of the new Wellco ICB's. Comfortable boot as well.

I always loved my hi-tecs, when I was allowed to wear them.
Great boots. They do kinda take awhile to dry out if you are going to be in a wet environment.
I wore Rocky 911's for years as a cop, and hiking. Similiar to the hi-tecs, but lighter and more comfortable.
Other then that? Green (only) jungles or Danner's when it was really cold.
I have some New in the box "Special Forces Mountain Boots" if anyone remembers those.

Razor,
I think they are Chippewas....they were advertised in the old Brigade Quartermaster catalog as "SF Mountain boots"....They were short, big ass heavy boots...I can dig them out and post a pic if ya want.

Razor,
I went and looked for the boots last night.....couldn't find them. Must have got misplaced in the last move.
All black leather, big old sole, short upper, came with thin and thick felt insoles.....does that match the description for chippewas?
