The suede finish ankle boot issued to overseas troops from 1942 until replaced in late 1944 by the two-buckle boots. All these boots are E width.
What period do these boots represent?
These reproduction boots are modelled on the suede finish ankle boot issued to overseas troops. This style was in use from 1942. It was replaced in late 1944 by the two-buckle boots.
What is the quality of the construction?
The boots are described as well-made and solid. However, some boots have issues with lace eyelets popping out. This appears to be a recurring issue across multiple pairs. Despite this, many are generally pleased with the overall quality.
Do these boots require a break-in period?
The boots can be a little "cranky" to break in. This is similar to the original period boots. However, once broken in, they are found to be comfortable.
What is the material of the boots?
The boots have a suede finish. The leather used is thinner than that found on some other reproduction boots. This thinner leather contributes to the comfort of the boots.
What is the width of these boots?
All these boots are E width. Some with extremely narrow feet find that adding a heel pad and a Dr. Scholls pad helps to prevent their feet from sliding around too much. Those with very wide feet have found the sizing to work out okay.
