I've been wearing the shoes since February this year, about 3 hours a day while walking my dog in the forest. Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is poor – based on reviews, I expected something better. The shoes look good, fit well, and are comfortable, but after just a month the laces wore out, the sole is almost worn through, and the "leather" cracked despite proper care. In my opinion, they're good for one season, and I'm not sure they'll last until next February.
Mil-Tec US Jungle Boots - Black
Sturdy and ideal for use throughout all seasons, black military boots modeled after the iconic "Jungle" boots employed by the US Army during the Vietnam War.
A combination of waterproof leather and durable nylon, soft EVA foam insoles
The boots are constructed with a combination of waterproof leather and durable, tightly woven nylon. Ankle reinforcements, equipped with extra straps, offer increased stability and foot protection. A soft EVA foam insole ensures high comfort even during prolonged wear.
Panama-style tread, steel shank
The ergonomically designed, non-slip sole featuring a Panama tread ensures excellent cushioning while preventing mud adhesion. Furthermore, the sole includes a steel shank for protection against punctures from below.

The shoes have an attractive appearance and the sole is practical because almost nothing sticks to it except for small grains of sand and other tiny elements. Unfortunately, the drainage holes, which are supposed to drain water, are problematic.
-
There's no need for a long story – these are my favorite summer shoes. They're light, comfortable, durable, and look good. This is already my fourth pair, with short breaks over 20 years.

My previous Panamas from Mil Tec served me daily for 5 years – to school, for airsoft, to work – solid shoes, the best at this price. The current newer version made of "waterproof leather" cracked after just 2 months of light use, and they even started to come apart. I don't recommend them, unfortunately. Mil Tec once made really good and affordable shoes. I give 3/10 points for those who want stiff, heavy sneakers.

The shoes are okay, but the previous version was much better. The earlier ones were comfortable right away after putting them on, but now the manufacturer has cut costs – I know you can't expect miracles for this price, but after three days of wearing, they still feel tight. The previous edition had a soft, comfortable insole, now the sole is hard and looks plastic. On the plus side – the sizing hasn't changed. Next time I'll go for a different model, because this one got worse.

The Panama-type sole is supposed to prevent mud from sticking, but at the first contact with mud, the whole sole gets covered and becomes very slippery, like slick tires in the rain. The shoes look good, but that's their only advantage.
-
The shoes are very aesthetic. After buying an inexpensive 'comfort' insole and wearing higher socks (since nylon can stick to damp skin), they become very comfortable. My only reservation is about the quality of the leather – although the shoes are cheap, the leather started to crack quickly even with regular polishing, but the shoes themselves still hold up well.
-
This is already my second pair. I wore the first one in summer with short cargo shorts – they're very light and breathable. They're great for walking the dog in the woods and parks. The Mil-Tec insole provides extra comfort. I always order online and size 45. In this model, the shoes are half a centimeter longer than usual for the same size.
-
Amazing shoes! Very durable, solidly made, and comfortable. They don't rub, which often happens to me with other shoes. You can walk in the forest, ruins, and other bushcraft or urban exploration areas. Really recommend!

The shoes are iconic, that’s why I bought them (unfortunately from another store, because militaria.pl didn't have my size). They are very comfortable, suitable both for outdoor use and everyday wear in the city. After adding an extra insole, I can wear them for long hours. My feet don't sweat and the comfort is high. I plan to buy the black version in spring, I hope size 44 will be available.
-
I bought these shoes for mushroom picking. They are sturdy, but as a replica and a cheap product, you can't expect wonders. I’m deducting one star because after removing the insoles it turned out that the upper part of the sole is made of cardboard. These are not shoes for wild terrain. It is worth noting that this is the W model, which means a wide build, which was not mentioned in the description.

I bought the shoes about a year ago, not in this store, but it's the same model and size. I wore them every day and to work, all year long. They've been with me on walks in the forest, trips to factories, at the shooting range. During that time, I cleaned them about once a week with regular polish. The shoes are comfortable, though I recommend buying an extra cushion insole, especially if you often walk on hard surfaces. With proper care, they'll last a long time, though after a year the sole started to come off a bit in my left shoe. The laces wore out quickly and I replaced them with paracord. It's also worth burning off any protruding threads with a lighter. Overall rating: solid 4.5/5, especially considering the price and intensity of use.

Mil-Tec US Jungle Boots - Green OD fully met my expectations. The Military.pl store processes orders efficiently and professionally – I definitely recommend shopping there!

The shoes are really comfortable.

An absolute hit! I bought them ten years ago and used them all year round. In winter, two pairs of socks (including one thick pair) are enough, and my feet never sweat. In summer, thanks to the ventilation and mesh, I didn't have wet socks even once after a whole day outdoors. The thick sole is great for tough conditions. Best shoes I've ever bought!
