Review: TLDR: If you're looking for a pair of boots for life, these ain't those. These are excellent reproductions though, and at the price point (I paid $113) an excellent value for the quality of materials and workmanship, reproduction or not (more on that later). I gave 5 stars because these are very decent boots at a very decent price. Rothco has a niche in their reproduction boot offerings: They cost a little more than similar reproductions, but are much higher quality. Superior (US made) boots will cost 2-5x as much as the Rothco boot ... but are also of higher quality than the Rothco boot. It is *personal preference* whether the US made boots are WORTH the premium price. These jump boots are very inexpensive compared to the US made 'Paratrooper' Jump Boots, but check off most of the 'boxes' of the US-made boots. Brass nails, storm welt, replaceable heel and sole, steel shank, spit-shineable durable leather, all [check]. Even upon close inspection they very much look like Corcoran/HH Brown/ etc. jump boots. The *weight difference* between the Rothco and the 'original' is astonishing though - for me, the weight means thicker and more durable construction/materials. For those that don't plan on invading Europe by air, the extra weight might just be extra weight. My Rothco jump boots were about a half-size larger than the same-size Corcoran 975 and 1550 Jump Boots (so *not* the Munson last), and maybe because boots of this type of construction need time, effort, and use to form-fit around the feet. One could wear the Rothco boots immediately. One cannot wear Corcoran 'new boots' and walk extensively without being a masochist. Review: Pretty good so far only thing is the sizeing is a bit difficult, i sized down from an 8 to a 7 and it fots well only the ankle is a bit tight ## Features - Impact-Absorbing Insole: Cushioned insole protects feet by reducing impact from jumping and striking. - Reinforced Grip: Oil-resistant beveled outsole provides enhanced traction for better movement on various terrains. - Moisture Protection: Storm welt design ensures breathable moisture protection, keeping your feet dry in diverse conditions. - Steel Shank Support: Reduces strain on heel and calf, offering comfort during extended periods on your feet. - High-Ankle Support: 10-inch height provides ideal support, preventing ankle rolls in the field. Secure fit with a 12-eyelet lace system. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08SFD96FK | | ASIN | B0C6RLVW53 | | Boot Form Type | Chukka | | Boot Shaft Height | Mid-Calf | | Brand | ROTHCO | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (97) | | Customer reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (97) | | Date First Available | 31 May 2023 | | Department | mens | | Embellishment Feature | Lace-Up | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Material | Leather | | Item Type Name | Military and Tactical Boot | | Item Weight | 2.04 Kilograms | | Item model number | 16989-P | | Manufacturer | ROTHCO | | Manufacturer | Rothco | | Material Fabric | Leather, Steel, Rubber | | Model Name | Rothco Leather Jump Boot - 10 Inch, Black - 5 | | Occasion | work | | Outer Material | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | All | | Shaft Circumference | 31.4 inches | | Shoe Height Map | Ankle-High | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Style Name | Jump Boots | | Style Number | P5692 | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 613902162143 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | lining-description | Leather | ## Images ![Leather Jump Boots - 10 Inch - High-Ankle Support and Impact Absorption - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SNI7NC2ZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by V***) on 26 November 2024* TLDR: If you're looking for a pair of boots for life, these ain't those.
