Boots / shoes to wear with your flight jacket s...

Received today: "Meindl fliegerstiefel".

Hi SR
Are these repro Luftwaffe flight boots ?

 

[Skyranger]

Hi, I'm not an expert, but it looks like it. Meindl sells them as hunting boots, for me it would be for "winter" motorcycle boots.

Awesome boots!

They are on the market over here in Germany for hunting but mainly called "Fliegerstiefel" ...

Pricewise they are in a range of about 300.- € equals about 320.- $

I love my “Ralph Laurens” - the best repop-boondockers I’ve seen so far and very comfy to wear …

Thx @B-Man2 Burt for selling them!

Maybe I will add some different laces - other than that highly recommended!

Ex French Army buckle boots - they have been on the market for a pretty low price but meanwhile got more and more expensive and the large numbers (45 equals US 11) are almost out …

I keep 1 pair unused - the other one has been worn frequently for running chores

Eye candy! They look very well made, robust and heavy I am guessing.

The Indochina Para. version ( quite russet, without screws and nicely stamped and labeled ).

Same boots shortened called " Comando boots" because they were heavy duties Get rid of the buckles years ago and use them for working scrounging outside ... Got them from a quartermaster friend of mine for free ... thousends of them were just dumped in a trash truck because the army does not want them anymore!! most of them were brand new! they are tough as nails!
