 www.altama.com/products/8852-olive-drab-jungle-vulcanized-bootThese boots are $59.99. They also have a pair for $99.99 that are "Made in America". I bought the "Made in America" ones. You can also find cheaper ones on Amazon for about $25. Just search for "Vietnam Jungle Boots". However when doing my research for proper Jayne boots and reading the reviews, I got the sense that the cheap ones on Amazon were cheap in more ways than just the price. The Altama ones on the other hand seem like they will last for many years and be great boots for hiking and other non-costume boot use. This will enable me to break them in to be more Jayne like. Altama used to supply these boots to the US Department of Defense for use by soldiers in Vietnam and other military conflicts. |

after talking with Adam Baldwin at Detroit Fanfare. He said the boots he wore in the pilot(the ones pictured above) hurt his feet really bad. so once the show got picked up, he ask for a different boot. He said he only wore the ones above for the pilot only. I cant seem to find a good picture of the "other" ones..this is the best I've found so far... this picture is from Jaynestown right when they get off serenity   the heal drops right down to the sole.. on the "pilot" ones it continues across the boot. appear to be a black and brownish color with |

We just got a hold of Adam by tweeter.. he said they were "North face" heres the quote "@melmilam Went from standard issue Army jungle combat boots to North Face (comfy) ... just switched the uppers..." I thinking these are them here  they look more of a brown than the green, but maybe is the lighting.. its the only pair I can find right now.. the design looks perfect to me. I am not sure on the color.. lighting changes so much The North Face Trek Lite GoreTex Boot Mens sz 9 (42 EU) WaterProof Hiking Shoes (648335671993) | eBay |

well in my search I can not find the tan ones for sale anywhere.. the few places I did find it, they were discontinued.
I wonder if we can somehow dye or paint the dark green ones...I found a bunch of them on ebay
might not even have to.. the green ones similar enough.. at least to be..

Just bought myself a pair of the North Face boots. But I'm wondering about something Adam said on Twitter:
@melmilam Went from standard issue Army jungle combat boots to North Face (comfy) ... just switched the uppers...
Does that mean he had different gaiters than the standard ones in all the promo pics?

the way I took is..
the gaiters were attached to the boots
they un-attached them and SWITCHED them to the new boots.
that's just my theory, I don't know for sure if that is what they did,
the more I think about it, the more that makes scene to me.

I received my Northface boots in the mail today! The boots on the left are what Jayne wore in Serenity and The Train Job. The boots on the right are what he wore throughout the rest of the series.  |

Yeah, and the new boots look much less green in person and more like they looked on the series.
