Original U.S. WWII Model 1939 American Service-Worn Shoe Low Boots - Size 10½E

Original Items: Only One pair Available. Known as the Model 1939 American Service Shoe these low quarter boots were also called walking out boots by USGIs. These were standard issue to US troops serving in the Army and Air Force at the start of WW2, eventually replaced by the rough-out boot. This pair is in very good wearable condition but there is some service wear. The boots are made from russet brown leather with a leather toe cap and a two piece stitched-in rubber sole. Worn in combat with the M1938 leggings, these boots were also popular off-duty. 

There are markings on the insides of the shoes, but they are mostly too faded to read. The laces are in good shape, but they are very dirty, as are the entire shoes. The leather is a bit weak all around, so please be careful when handling them. The tongues of both shoes have some light leather damage, but this isn’t too serious. They are marked Size 10 1/2E on the interiors of each boot.

A very nice set of M1939 Service shoes, ready for further research and display.
