As said the Jungle boots were certainly not general issue at the start of the war in 1965. When the U.S Marines and Army first fought in Vietnam it was with bright, shiney leather boots.
A good example is "We were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson. All the Air Cav wear leather boots in this representation of the Battle of La Drang Valley.
