They have hobnails....Look to be European, WW2 or after....Bodes

 

Thank You Bodes !

interesting, some of my friends also mentioned possible French connection there... number of eyelets doesnt really match with most EU military boots... hmmm

I'm going by the soles....I know somebody who picked up a pair with similar type of soles, and were deemed of WW2 German descent....Bodes

I wouldn't right these off as being European just yet. Remember, the Army field shoe (1902-1917) had similar round headed hobnails.

My comment was intended to be about the appearance and not solely on the use of the hobnails....Bodes

Interesting about these is that the boots are not using wooden pegs - but steel nails all around. could that be a clue ?

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
