Yes! McRae was an original Prime Contractor to the Department of Defense for jungle boots beginning in 1967. The styles in this category are still made as close to the original specifications as possible utilizing materials and components of US origin in our factories in North Carolina. These boots span theaters from jungles to mountains to deserts beginning in the mid-1960s and are still worn by many active duty personnel today in the Coyote color (style 8190). They are Berry amendment compliant and meet AR670-1 (style 8190). This group is made utilizing original manufacturing tooling and methods whereby the iconic Panama sole is vulcanized to the upper part of the boot.
Our original factory is located in a school building where our founder attended school probably not imagining that he’d acquire the property later in life, thus, making it the future home of McRae Footwear.
As the business grew, we outgrew the original factory building and added on to our second facility, in nearby Troy, NC, taking it to 100,000 sq. ft. This was done to supplement a growing demand from the U.S. DoD and commercial marketplace. The new facility is where we house the new direct attach injection mold equipment for the manufacturing of current-spec military boots.
As explained above, we have been at this for over a half a century. Along this path, we’ve learned a good bit about making durable and reliable critical footwear for our troops. Our boots are designed to help you fulfill missions and we are honored to have earned your trust and confidence in our products as you carry out those missions.
