sigsaye Posted August 26, 2019 Share #9 Posted August 26, 2019 19th century had square box toes. These do not have 19th century styling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themick Posted August 26, 2019 Share #10 Posted August 26, 2019 I wouldn't right these off as being European just yet. Remember, the Army field shoe (1902-1917) had similar round headed hobnails. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/39225-us-army-field-shoes-1902-to-1917/ Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicolas75 Posted August 28, 2019 Share #13 Posted August 28, 2019 There it is I don't thnik it's military issue, maybe as you said for kid set for parade or something. We also liked in the 20's or 30's to dress kid as soldiers for celebrations In addition if you said it's very small, it leads to this purpose All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
