Vintage German and US Army Boots

http://www.atthefront.com/

A rather odd website offering everything in ways of fashion for the aspiring neonazi, has some absolutely fantastic army boots on offer. Replicas of classics. The Desert Boot that the Germans soldiers of the Afrika Korps of Erwin Rommel wore during their WWII battles with the British 8th Army; Tobruk, El Alamein, Tripoli: The M42 German Low Boot with hobnails. At 160 USD they look like a bargain to me.



Or how about this one, at the same website: The US Army Roughout Shoe, another WWII classic. These shoes were made with flesh out leather (like Boondockers and Buckle Boots) for better water repellency, with rubber soles and no toe cap. They were issued overseas only. This is what the American GIs wore when they crossed from Africa to Sicily, and when they fought the Germans up the Italian boot.

This US Army Roughout Shoe replica can be ordered for 110 USD

  1. Hola compadre,

    Dit is natuurlijk spekkie naar mijn bekkie.
    Inderdaad mooie schoenen, leuke website ook waar het vandaan komt.

    Lijkt wel alsof er redelijk wat belangstelling voor is.
    Maatvoering wat beperkt vanwege afname van 100 st per maat.

    Leuk man!
