With the new uniform I have decided to go ahead and seek out a coyote "high speed" boot. I live in Indiana with hot, humid summers and probably have a JRTC cycle in my future. I would like a good jungle boot. Everyone who has worn the old green and black ones swears by their comfort. After much reviewing and research, the only true boot in that tradition I can find is the Altama Jungle PX. It appears to be similar to the old jungle boot. I currently have a pair of issued Altamas, and they are fantastic. The PX also has the original Ro-Search Panama sole. I basically want a light, comfortable, fast drying boot. I don't think anyone offers the Saran insoles anymore, but perhaps modern insoles are just as well-drying. Anyone have experience with this boot or have another they would recommend?

The Danner boots are really great boots. Pricey, but worth the money. My feet do not hurt anywhere NEAR as bad as if I were wearing issued boots.

I love my Danners too, but when I was in the desert, I wore Converse boots, felt like I was wearing sneakers.

If you can get away with a non-standard boot in the field: http://www.salomon.com/us/product/x-ultra-trek-gtx.html?article=378387
