I’ve worn both styles into the ground, into fragments, and the jungle boots at #2 will outlast the all-fabric one you posted 3 to 1.
Roger that. I wore both the olive and later the black nylon for duty, and still have one of the last pairs of Altima olives I’ve had resoled several times; they’re ideal for Louisiana. I just bought my first pair of Palladiums a couple months ago with no illusions of durability and rigidity. I bought them for office casual work and they fill the bill nicely for that. I’d never even remotely consider them anything like a serious hiking or combat boot, and I’d never recommend them as such when there are so many other better options.
