Looking for Two Specific Styles of Boots

[JoshK]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for two specific patterns of boots and after looking myself through my usual sources for modern made "look-a-likes" I was wondering if the community here would be able to help.

The first pair will be the hardest. Here they are:






So from what I can see these boots are about an 8 inch tall, lace-to-toe boot, with 12 eyelets, a full corded sole, in Dark Brown. The switching of speedlaces to eyelets and getting the full corded sole is easy. If I could find boots with ll the other features I'll be happy.


These are the second boots:












These seem to be basically US Army Jump Boots but without the Toe-Cap. The boots they look closest to, to me, are White's Smoke Jumper boots in Brown, if one were to remove the pull tab, have it only be eyelets, and have a half rubber sole. Any other options that look closer people have seen?


Thank you all for the help,
Josh

For the first pair, everything I'm finding is just a bit too short, but here's a start

Dinerman,
Thanks! I had seen those as well but as you said they're too short. It's weird that seemingly no one makes that lace-to-toe type in a highboot anymore. Only in a low boot it seems.

Thank you,
Josh

Is a copy of that boot not available on Ebay?

Only the version with toecap in russet or roughout leather. I don't think I've seen a repro of that exact version.

Chippewa and Carolina both make a high top (8") lace to toe boot. Both have a Cuban heel and a heavy treaded "logger" sole.

Try Red Wing maybe for something similar to the second pair.
