WWII British - Canadian Officers Boots By John White/Size 8M 1945 Dated

These are and excellent pair of John White/Size 8M 1945 Dated boots. This pattern of boot was designed to be worn in place of ankle boots and gaiters by combining the two and was popular with officers in the Normandy Campaign and throughout the rest of the war. They are made from a reddish/brown colored leather which has a pebbled finish. They feature a Moc-Toe which is sometimes referred to as an 'apron front'. The front of the boots fasten with laces which appear to be the originals whilst the top closes with a leather section which features two belts and buckles each. The soles appear to be original and are marked with the Broad Arrow 8M, the leather soles are hob-nailed and nailed in excellent condition with very little wear. The boot leather is still supple and in excellent condition with no cracks or tears and inside the boots are clearly marked "JOHN WHITE, 1945 M FIT Size 8". Great opportunity to grab a pair of historical military boots.
