The JUNGLE HOT WEATHER Combat Boot was originated by Wellco. As early as the 1950s, Wellco began the task of convincing the U.S. Army that its unique Direct Molded Sole (DMS) construction was suited for military combat boots. The JUNGLE BOOT has been able to withstand years of wear & tear in cruel environments, and over the years, has protected the feet of millions who protect and serve. Made with pride in the USA!
