Fuck yes !!! I did not notice that . Mine are 10.5 N , I usually wear 10 E . With some grease and shoe stretchers it can be ok . Anyway , there are a lot of M48 to sell . Some in great condition and good sized for Thomas . you're right Burt
Thanks
What do you mean by "GS combat boots ? These were used in the Korean War. These ones are still jump boots , you can see that the heels are beveled but just on the corners . Russet was the early dye , then small time after it turned to black , all the boots in russet had to be dyes black and new issues were builted black. The Corcoran has they were with entire 45° beveled heels went black and used as parad boots.( code 1500 )
Here are links I found to illustrate : the Rose Anvil video shows a M48 , not a WW2 era jump boots it is exactyely the same model I own . Life time construction quality( still wear some 84 years old , just resoled ! )

I imagine your face when you discovered the few boots planned after inflation !!! ahahahaha !Braining and discussing about "boots - shoes ..." i have a rather funny story:
by accident i stumbled upon a homepage organising all kind of auctions like insolvencies or so
There was an interesting lot of "riding boots" and i saw there must be at least 1 pair in european size 45/46 which suits me so i placed a bid of about 20.- bucks
On the auction photos where 3 blue trashbags full of boots
Well my bid was the highest - got there (German TV-Station not insolvent but culled their stock of props) and asked for my "3 sack o' boots" - at the end it worked out it was 8 sack with about 50/60 pair in different stages of wear and condition - thankfully i had my pickup-truck with me otherwise all the stuff would not have fit into my commuter ...
Since some of the boots where in very bad condition and just cheap rubber-stuff i threw 'em away
Now i'm on to sell the better ones pair by pair - "return of invest" so far 8 times the price i payed for them (keep in mind i payed 20.- bucks only) ... - so if someone of you needs a pair just get in touch ...
6 of the 8 "sack o' boots"
part of the "inventory" when 3 sacks still haven't got unpacked ...
They look great and the price beats all the other repros out there by miles .
Absolutely Burt. I just wish that I could find another pair like my lighter colored, true roughout version. The corded soles still look 95% after two years of wear, 2-3 days a week, but I'd love an extra pair as insurance.
I need to find me a pair of these. They're good looking.
This pair is a tad too big for me, but are these correct? Seems like a smoking good price if true..
