"...And last and really the least of my worries, YES they do smell like kerosene and that is ok its not that bad really!!..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the insole of the boot. They mention that it comes without any insoles, and that the boots are terrible without any. Some customers also say that the boot does not include the mesh inserts for the sole that make the system work.

Update: been wearing these almost daily for over a month. I feel justified in elevating my rating of them from a four star to a five star.
Update: It’s now October 15th, 2021. Still no problems. Included a photo of me wearing them. I like them. They lace up fast, the canvas uppers facilitates slipping them on, they take a good shine and are comfortable (with insoles). And they just look so damned good!

First serious wearing fill the boots with fresh water, allow to drain through the drain holes slowly for several minutes, dump the excess, put them on laced tighter than normal, go for a long walk. If you take them off and they are still moist, remove any insoles so they can dry. After wearing wet, use a good shoe polish as this nourishes the leather and helps prevent cracking. A light smear of neatsfoot oil is the gold standard for keeping leather soft but don't use too much or too often as it can become an oily mess or stretch too much. Never use any heat more powerful than sunlight to dry them.
Hint: These units have no insoles so form-fitted cushion insoles are a good idea for dry conditions and hiking on hard surfaces. Insoles with stiff plastic blades help with arch support. If you are going to be in a lot of water it pays to find a pair of Saran mesh insoles. They maintain an air-gap and help drain the water so the boots and feet dry quickly. Surplus Army Warehouse sells them by the dozen cheap as "GI Insoles 8R 12 Pairs". They are not designed to add cushioning, just to get air under the foot to aid air circulation and prevent rot. Original GI issue boots in the 70s and 80s, jungle and regular, came with these "shredded wheat" insoles. They help a lot in any boot if it is hot or wet.
Note on quality: Of three manufacturers of these boots I have experience with the Rothco version seems far superior. The quality of materials is nearly identical from all manufacturers. As far as I know they could all be manufactured in the same plant and they look the same. The differences are mainly a matter of quality control inspection and rejecting items with small but serious flaws. A set of "Mil-spec" boots I bought from SG is typical. The left boot is well put together and seemingly quite durable. The right had the heel come unattached after a very few miles of light walking. Same materials, perhaps the Rothco sole is a bit better moulding and it sports a brand impression, but the non-Rothco boots are hit-or-miss on how they are put together. If you are lucky you get a good boot. If not ... Note that the difference is not necessarily easy to spot. The defective heel joint on the "Mil-spec" SG boot was smeared with some sort of black caulk to disguise the loose joint and looked only a bit sloppy, but otherwise okay. Six miles of light walking later and a quarter-inch gap had opened up and the heel was starting to flap. Live and learn.
Along that same line the Rothco boots seams at the sole look tight and neat, a good sign, but I will only know for sure in time. After a dozen miles they are still solid. Jungle boots are not for everyone. The soles are thinner and more flexible than most boots. They are a more than adequate 5/16" at their thinnest but feel more like athletic shoes than boots. There are also 9 eyelets on each side. Next time I might swing for the speed-laces.

unfortunately I was send a size 10 W, even so I ordered size 9 (43 EU)
Same thing happened to a friend of mine before... wrong size sent!
Maybe seller needs to work on quality control when sending items?!
