Yw..I found these on marketplace they were like new, just needed a cleaning. There's a few on ebay but seem pretty rare.

Picked up these from A Fine Pair of Shoes. Very different from what I normally wear and not entirely sure I like them.

Berwick 1707 Apron Boot, apparently. They're on sale and I got them with an additional black Friday discount so they were super cheap

Yes ! I bough this pair with that in mind : not resoling ! I had the same experience with another M48 pair but too large 11.5 EE . This time it's good . btw , my Type2 are just back from my cobbler . Sent to him to get new heels on , the last ones were to thin ( 1cm ) the new ones are more accurate ( 2cm) and made with a vintage mold ( made in Canada ) , from etsy where I found the cats paw heels and the Biltrite that were used on these type2

No pbs to ask . From Ebay US . I never stop searching ... on the entire web . This afternoon I found a very early pair of jump boots mint from a French web site specialized in WW2 gears and other stuff , especialy Jeep willys parts . . This kind of passion is a real pain for my wallet but a pleasure for my feet and ... ego !!! ahahaha Got no pics . The item were puted off the site when the trannsaction were done , and , what a dumb I am , I did not save any pics to my pc . There is also a nice A2 for example : I don't know the real price of this kind of item , I'm in the boots ! so let's have a look https://militariajeep35.fr/produit/blouson-m41-officier-7/ . PS : The price of the jump boots is quite gentle .To be honest I had the M48 for 170$ + 30$ shipping + 17$ import taxe : happy ! about the WW2 era jump boots , very rare : 550€

Nice score! But M48 is GS combat boots, it’s heels different from Cocoran’s.
