I'd take two pair. Both already broke in. And I'd avoid walking on concrete and asphalt as much as possible. But I think you could do it!

Well it appears to me you have done your homework. In my meagre experience in these matters I have found that 90% of such projects is the "want" to do it! With about the same sucess rate! So with those odds I say you can and will be successful in this endeavor!

I will admit until the late family circumstances occurred, youngest son and I were planning several short vintage era trips on the continental divide trail in the American Rockies. Currently it's on the back burner.

Good luck!

Rubber heels were available since the 1880s and men were resoling their boots with old car tire treads by WW1.

Sunglasses or "blue goggles" date to the mid 1800s or earlier although I don't know if a WW1 recruit would have had them.

You seem to be re enacting a march by recruits before they joined the military, but wearing the uniform they would have been issued after joining?

I think I would be looking round for a 1914 bicycle or vintage train ticket ha ha.
