They went through minor improvements since 1962 and used in large numbers by troops in the Republic. Jungle boots were the standard combat footwear for mild weather for decades following Vietnam. The last nomenclature for jungle boots was 'Boot, Hot Weather, Type I, Black, Hot-Wet', and uses either OG107 green or black for the nylon sections of the upper. In addition, the 'Mod 2' boot is identical except with tan color for the leather and the nylon, eliminating the protective steel plate because of its reliability as a conductor of heat in hot sand and vent eyelets because they allow sand in.

Despite the introduction of the desert boot by the time of Operation Desert Storm, supplies were limited and many troops still wore jungle boots and black leather combat boots during the conflict. Even during <a href="/wiki/Operation_Enduring_Freedom" title="Operation Enduring Freedom">Operation Enduring Freedom</a> over a decade later, many American troops used black jungle boots and black leather speed-lace combat footwear alongside the newer desert footwear in Afghanistan during the early 2000s. </p><p>During the 1980s, some improvements incorporated over the years in American footwear were modified or discarded for cost and convenience to the contractors.<sup id="cite_ref-Kearny,_Cresson_H._pp._183,_365_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kearny,_Cresson_H._pp._183,_365-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This included changes in rubber sole composition (reducing the janitorial load by reducing the tell-tale 'marking' of linoleum floors), and use of waterproof Poron linings instead of the left-overs from 1942 Saran ventilating in-soles.<sup id="cite_ref-Kearny,_Cresson_H._pp._183,_365_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kearny,_Cresson_H._pp._183,_365-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The improved version of the footwear retain their two-way water drain eyelets, so water is sucked into the boot, soaking the open-cell Poron in-soles in constant contact with the bottom of the foot.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> British forces use Saran insoles in their footwear because they like its insulating properties.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Increasing use of the jungle boot as a general-purpose combat boot wrought further improvements.

One version, called the Temperate or Infantry Combat Boot, has an inner waterproof <a href="/wiki/Gore-Tex" title="Gore-Tex">Gore-Tex</a> 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 98°F or less. Another version, the Hot Weather Boot, eliminates the lining while retaining the vents. The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">US Army</a> and <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">US Air Force</a> removed the black jungle boot from frontline service, swapping them for suede desert-style boots after the US Army adopted the <a href="/wiki/Army_Combat_Uniform" title="Army Combat Uniform">Army Combat Uniform</a> and the US Air Force adopted the <a href="/wiki/Airman_Battle_Uniform" title="Airman Battle Uniform">Airman Battle Uniform</a>.
