I bought a used pair with woven rag foot beds with boot socks stuffed with straw. I was able to find new winter boot socks and woven rag foot beds. The issue foot beds are not great. I imagine the soldiers swapped them out as plain cardboard or felt lined cardboard insoles weren't great. Foot wraps are superb when wearing these boots
I have a full East German kit except boots. Helmet with cover, , webbing, pack, gas mask bag, uniform with pants, and jacket and the padded winter padded gear too.
