Palladium Men's Pallabrousse Canvas Boots - Lightweight Comfortable Casual Shoes for Hiking, Travel & Everyday Wear

This boot design was based off of French Army boots, and was copied by the Viet Cong (now the Vietnamese army) who issued near-identical versions to their soldiers for 40 years up to today. This should give you an idea of how good these shoe/boots are. I wore mine through jungles, forests, rivers and sand without any problem. While it doesn't have drain holes, the boots dried out fast when I used them; a godsend in nastier conditions. Lighter weight than many other hiking-oriented boots, and has terrific traction and ankle support, not to mention how comfortable they are; I experienced no rubbing or abrasions of any kind despite wearing them constantly and in rough terrain. Be warned that heavy abuse can damage them somewhat; the heels on mine have torn slightly but this can be repaired easily by hand if you're used to repairing clothes. Highly recommend them for warm/hot climates, do not recommend for cold ones (no insulation, can't dry out if wet & cold, etc).
