Original ww2 german boots?

[JPhilip]

Thanks to all! This boot was founded in North Italy...
(the seller ask me 150 euros, is it its value?)

Thanks again

Hello,
For 150 euro, you'll be wrong not to grab them.....
Thanks

Right JPhillip. Leibolt's boots, as I understood it from the person I got them from and who was a friend of his, had them made.

Hello,
Yes for sure privately purchased boots...
Thanks

I have officer boots that have the rear seam stitched internally.

JPhilip,
Thanks for the excellent No5 post. Could you elaborate a little on the heel fault and the wrong angle issue, if you can, I know its not always easy to do, I don't see the point your making. Best Wishes

Hello Alec,
On the first photo, you can see how it is....on the second photo you can see how it should be...
The heel should have an angle when seen from the profile
Thanks

Hello Alec,
You're welcome...
For you and other members interested in the Marschstiefel, i took a few photos to exactly show what i'm talking about. It could be useful to some of you gentlemen....

Photo 1 :
It's one of my pairs of high shafted Marschstiefel...
You can see the shark nose and the reinforcing leather band located on the inside...

Photo 2

Three part sole on the left...and lack of reinforcing leather band on the outside. The shaft is made of one piece of leather that is closed at the rear...

Photo 3

U-shaped sewing for the pull-up...

and finally last but not least, the shape of the heel...

This pair of Marschstiefel was taken from a german soldier during the liberation of a town in southern France...
Except the mountain boots, all german ankle boots do also have the same heel...
Thanks
