Original U.S. WWII 1942 Dated GI Cap Toe Type II Composition Sole Service Shoes with Leggings

Original Items: Only One Pair Available. Two pairs of service shoes (boots) were issued to Army and Army Air Force enlisted personnel as a mandatory allowance. Type I and Type II Service Shoes were general issue items until early 1943 when other types of service shoes and boots were developed for overseas use. Thereafter issue of these shoes was to be confined to the zone of interior. Officers were required to purchase two pairs of shoes or boots suitable for wear in the field and could choose to purchase and wear the standard issue service shoe for this purpose.

This pair is offered in very good but used condition in approximate size US 8-9, but there are no discernable markings left inside due to heavy service use. There are some numbers visible in one shoe but nothing we could discern.

The included leggings retain laundry numbers on the interior, K1657. They are contracted October 1943.

A great set, ready for display.
