I bought mine a couple of years ago. They’re made by Bass, but I don’t see that they offer them now. Most of the ones you’ll find (mine included) also have a side zipper, but that’s ok since they’re not on the outside and are hardly noticeable (quite convenient too). That said, if you can fit size 10A, there is a pair of vintage Allen Edmonds on eBay for $25 (!!!). Those might very well be what Robert Lansing is wearing. I saw a pair of these on an early War US pilot mannequin; he was wearing Roblees.
More like an 11 1/2 wide. Could almost squeeze those on maybe, it would be snug. They look awesome!!... and affordable too.
Jodhpur boots are very similar . I’ve got a couple pair.You’ll want the type that has the tongue on the outside, on top of the instep, as in the photos. Here’s the vintage pair of Allen Edmonds shoes in 10A. These even have the Cat’s Paw heels. Because I looked at them, I was sent an offer for $21. What size are you?

I know I saw Aldo(something) boots on Ebay that have the profile and correct tongue. They're like 70 bucks and come in all sizes They have zippers on the inboard side (who cares), but they also have a short zipper on the outside (not sure why). Still when I saw them, I almost bought them to have a second pair. Pa12 is correct though, you can also search Jodhpur boots. In fact, I believe that's what Roblee called them. The attached 1942 ad refers to the low cuts as Jodhpurs. You can see where the tongue is on the outside top of the instep. The boots (not shown) were much more popular among Air Corps flyers.More like an 11 1/2 wide. Could almost squeeze those on maybe, it would be snug. They look awesome!!... and affordable too.
I like my Bean Boots, but ditto. Possibly a pair of A-3 trousers as well, although I’m unconvinced they’d see much wear.
Please keep me in the loop about those A-6 boots?... and what about those Mitts too!!

Will do. I checked in with Shawn about a week ago and he’s got all the materials now. He should have something to show me any time now.
