After WW2impressions - comes ATF (at the front) - and in last in WPG (what price glory).
Hey I figure you might be the guys to ask. A few years ago, ok maybe 15 or so, I found an old pair of brown GI boots at a yard sale and I absolutly loved them. They were the best $5 I had ever spent on a pair of shoes. Anyway these boots had a flap that had 2 buckles and covered the upper laces. Someone told me these were paratrooper boots or somthing like that. I've searched around in the local surplus stores and I have never found another pair like them. The closest I found were all canvas and I beleive Israeli. I have fond memories of wearing these boots until they fell apart and would like to get another pair. Does anyone know what boots I am talking about and where I might find a pair? I would really like to find original boots if I can but if not are there any good (well made) reproductions of these? thanks.
They look interesting indeed! Any details on the price?
