Jungle Boots

 seem to be based on the combat boot design of the United States during the Korean and Vietnam wars. These boots are designed for wet and humid areas, and are best used in, appropriately enough, jungle situations.

Trivia

 * In real life they are Nicknamed "Vietnam Jungle Boots".
 * By coincidence the Green Jungle Boots are the same pair design and color that the iconic slasher Michael Myers wore in the original Halloween (1978) film.
