If you like the feel of those, then pick up a pair of jungle boots. When I joined the Army in '71, jungle boots were not authorized for stateside wear (we also had to wear starched fatigues.) It was common to dye the canvas sides black (using Ritt dye) and polish the leather pieces. You couldn't use them for inspection, but they worked fine in the field. If you are going to be wearing them on hard surfaces (i.e., concrete, etc.) I would recommend the soles used in Vietnam. The larger Panama tread is great for mud, but I found it uncomfortable for walking on concrete. Years ago, somebody was selling jungle style boots in black. You might try U.S. Calvary, or Brigade Quartermasters.
