Rare original pair of Wehrmacht EM's Ankle Boots (Schnürschuhe). In early 1940 the lace-up ankle boots were introduced as a leather conservation method and by 1941 the ankle boot was issued to all new recruits in place of the marching boots. This is a nice textbook pair of lace-up ankle boots, made of natural brown leather, complete with all hobnails and iron parts. The low boots are nicely RB.Nr.0/0656/0010 and dated 1944. The low boots are size 28,5 marked which is a perfect size for display on a mannequin. They are complete with their original leather laces. The boots are showing the expected period use and wear, this pair would display great on a combat uniform. Hard to find pair of textbook original Wehrmact low boots!
