Recently was hired on as a River Ranger with the NPS. Currently going through the conundrum of selecting my uniform boots. It was recommended that I get the Jungle Hiking boots off the uniform store. However, with those being advertised as "waterproof" this also means they will hold water when I inevitably have to get in the water. From my experience it would be better to have something that will drain quickly if you know you're going to be getting wet. Most boots that I have seen recommended are more of a work boot or hiking boot and won't preform well in my working environment.

TLDR:

Does anyone have an recommendations for decent hiking boots that will drain easily that are within uniform regs?
