Hello,

May I have your opinion on these US boots ?

Real ww2 US Navy boondockers or fake ones ?

Thanks for the feedbacks.

P.A

 

Us navy or usmc. Nice original boots 

Would normally have a contract number.   Not the normal wording on WWII-era Navy contracted shoes.

 

what does the date say (kind of blurry)?

 

I'd say they were USMC.

Thank you for the feedbacks !

I don't have a better pic of the date at the moment (shoes are not mine yet)... I did ask for one

Would you say these are original shoelaces ?

P.A

 

Look inside the shoes - there should be inspector stamp USN/USMC.

 

They are USMC in my opinion. Usn should have nxsx contract visible inisde.

Ps. Here is the same example made my Endincott in 1943...

 

Post 25 and 40.

 

 

Id say they are original USMC. I don't believe anybody makes that corded type sole, at least not in that pattern. Not even some of the available high end reproductions on the market have them, I believe someone in Japan does make the s but I've not personally investigated that yet. 

 

They look nice, lucky find.
