Original 1945 Dated British Army Officer's Field Boots - Size 7M

A good 1945 dated example of the British officers' double buckle boots made by 'John White' and are a size 7M.

This pattern of boot was designed to be worn in place of ankle boots and gaiters by combining the two and was popular with officers in the Normandy Campaign and throughout the rest of the war. They are made from a brown coloured leather which has a pebbled finish. They feature a Moc-Toe which is sometimes referred to as an 'apron front'. The front of the boots fasten with laces whilst the top closes with a leather section which features two belts and buckles each. The original leather soles are still present and they retain original period metal toe and heel plates along with period fitted studs. 

Inside the boots are clearly marked with the 1945 date and the maker's name of 'John White' is also present. The soles are stamped with the size of 7M as well as the War Department broad arrow marking. 

The boots are in good condition and display very well. There are some signs of wear and age but on the whole they appear to be sounds and usable. Please take time to study the pictures before purchasing and bear in mind that they are a vintage, pre-owned item which may have small flaws commensurate with age.
