They are not typical double buckle boots. The buckles part was sewn to the lower part. I am not aware of any US combat boots having hobnails and steel horse shoe heels. As a rule military foot wear was always stamped with size and dates usually toward the top of the inside of the boot.
I am sure these are not US issue boots.

I would agree with Steve.

If you are looking for US boots, pass on these.

Cheers, Ade.

Just found this thread - definitively boots on the photo are not US M43 double buckle Combat Boots. They looks very similar to British dispatch rider boots, however there are some differences - two buckles instead usual three and no metal plate between the sole and heel.
