WWII German Marschstiefel - Officer Style Hobnailed Boots
An original pair of WWII German leather combat boots (Marschstiefel), often referred to as officer or jackboots. This set features smooth black leather with a complete array of original period hobnails (Steckeisen), intact metal toe plates, and iron heel irons (Hufeisen). The interior retains all four original black-and-white canvas pull straps. The boots are a desirable large size (approx. EU 44). Notably, the vertical rear seams have been carefully split down the back. This was likely done during the war by medical personnel (Sanitäter) to quickly remove boots from a wounded soldier, or by a post-war collector to fit them onto a display mannequin. The previous owner neatly added small pieces of Velcro to the interior edges, allowing the split seams to close flush and seamless for display. A highly presentable and character-rich pair of combat boots, perfect for a combat display.
