This pair of boots are pretty special. For one thing, they are genuine issued jungle boots. They were worn in combat for over a year in Vietnam by a Green Beret. This is the pair of boots my friend Brady wore and brought back. He is the kind of guy who never throws anything away.

After bringing them home, he wore them for hunting until the late 1980s.

The even more special part is the heel. See that missing chunk? That’s where and AK round tore a bit off as Brady dove for cover in a firefight.
