Kid's Paratrooper Boots

[hftiii]

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I wanted to post some pics of a pair of a kid's paratrooper boots that I purchased several months ago. I'm not sure if they are WWII vintage or post war, but couldn't pass on them because the price was right. They brought back fond memories for me as a kid playing army with my buddies in the neighborhood in the 1960s (Those were the days during the summer when you played outside from daylight until just about dark). I don't remember this type of boot on the market at the time but would definitely have been the envy of others if I'd had a pair. Thanks for looking.

Too cool!

I remember begging my parents for a pair of “army boots” as a kid…. Then I joined the real army and hated the issued boots haha

As a kid in the 60s, One of my cousins bought a pair of paratrooper boots
from the local surplus store. My aunt hated them because they left horrible black
scuff marks on the linoleum floor.

I have not seen airborne markings on boots before.
