Product Description: WW1 Imperial German Army Ankle Boots in Black/Brown Rough side out leather
Our WW1 Imperial German Army ankle boots are faithfully reproduced to the specifications of the original issue footwear used by German soldiers during the Great War.
Made from high-quality blackened/Brown leather, the boots are ankle-height, designed for both durability and practicality. They feature:
-
Color: Deep black finish (as per standard German Army regulation after 1915)/Rough side out brown 1914 or earlier
-
Construction: Heavy-duty leather uppers stitched to robust leather soles.
-
Closure: Front lace-up system with metal eyelets for a secure fit.
-
Soles: Reinforced with hobnails and a steel heel plate, providing grip and long life in field conditions.

Design: Compact ankle cut, lighter than marching jackboots, making them easier for long marches and trench wear.
These boots were widely issued during WW1, particularly after shortages of leather made the full jackboot less practical. They became standard issue for many German infantry units.
Perfect for reenactors, museums, collectors, and historical enthusiasts, these boots capture the authentic look and feel of Imperial German Army field gear.
