Fuck yes ! Many talented craftsmen ! Had to make a choice . He's "A108 Paratroops boots" kills . Thanks for the link ! I think the only way to get in touch with him is to write here : [email protected] . How do you know his prices ? Did you contacted him or else ?

A fellow I know has bought from him and said they were around $400..but I can't say for certain..

Nice boots Jan, will you swap out the laces for originals

 

[mulceber]

Yep, once the current ones give out. Already have the NOS ones I’m going to replace them with.

Damn my procrastination!!!
Now I wish that I would have jumped on Jan’s 11.5 Loftgrens that he just sold … at a great price I might add!

If you’d like to try on my JLs in Dayton, just to get a sense of what size you’d need, you’re more than welcome, Burt.

Thanks anyway Jan
Those 11.5s would have been perfect.

I dunno, they run awfully big. I regularly take a size 12 in sneakers. In JLs I take 10.5-11.

Tanker boots arrived today. They're a bit wide for me, but I also think I'm still getting used to laceless boots. The length is great though.

And with that I think my boot collecting is done for a good long while.

Never say never again !!! I've just bought a pair of Buzz R M42 at a really fair price Almost new . It will be my 4th pair of type2 !! 2 original ww2 and now 2 reproductions . I never wore tanker boots , it must be a real pleasure , after some times to adjust the leather to your ankle and feet shape . They are really nice !

Yes, they take a bit to be used too as they feel kinda "loose" compared to laced boots. I needed a bit of time to adjust also when I received my PB's, but they are now the most comfortable boots I've ever had and wear them on an almost daily basis:

They are also ageing quite well, if I may say so myself!
