I specialize in M1 carbines and Lugers.
imo yes German.
Hello,
They're heavily repaired private purchased boots for Officer, but not for a use in the field as they're hard shafted...

I too thought German officer private purchase riding type boot. timothy
I believe they are German military cavalry boots. Right toe taps and heel Irons.
Hello,
Guys, they're not cavalry or riding boots....they're just privately purchased officer boots for normal Dienst...
Cavalry boots do not have a lined hard shaft and do include a leather tab above the heel for retaining the spurs...
The boots shown here is a type produced for decades for private purchasing...
Even the u-shape iron on the heel is not german inspired, but rather czech...
Thanks
