Editing Jungle boot (section)

== Replacements ==
In 2005, the [[United States Marine Corps]] retired the black jungle boots from front-line military service, and replaced them with two versions of a new tan rough-out leather combat boot. One version, called the Temperate or Infantry combat boot, has an inner waterproof [[Gore-Tex]] lining. The Temperate boot is an effort to keep moisture out of the boot because, after the interior is wet, moisture tends to remain there. The lining limits air exchange, limiting its use to environments with temperatures of {{convert|98|F|C|abbr=}} or less. Another version, the hot weather boot, eliminates the lining while retaining the vents.

In the 2000s, the [[United States Army|US Army]] and [[United States Air Force|US Air Force]] removed the black jungle boot from frontline service, swapping them for suede desert-style boots after the US Army adopted the [[Army Combat Uniform]] and the US Air Force adopted the [[Airman Battle Uniform]]. Some foreign government agencies still issue US-made jungle boots to their troopers. One example is in [[Afghanistan]], with soldiers of the former [[Afghan National Army]] wearing black jungle boots with American-made combat uniforms.
