BRITISH WWI SOLDIER’S ANKLE BOOTS.

It should always be remembered that the boots of all the combatant nations of WWI are unbelievably difficult to find, the reason being that most of the boots were worn home by the soldiers at the end of hostilities and worn out through normal wear tear and work. This fabulous pair of virtually unworn commercial pattern WD marked issue soldiers boots are in remarkable condition. Slight depression to the nose area of the right hand boot. All of the steel heel and toe cleats are intact. Marked size 8. Large circular marking reading ‘HAND MADE’. Good clear WD markings to the instep of both boots. WD broad arrow over a number, which appears to be 50 or 58, the last digit is very difficult to read. All of the eyelets complete, no laces. The interior is in equally nice condition. The leather is the standard pebbled leather of the period.
