I am a Shoemaker if I had a pair of boots in my hands to take a pattern from I could make those those thank you for the video very interesting
That's cool because a lot of shoes are ether poorly built or overpriced.
I have a pair from Lederarsenal and they are amazing. Highly recommend them.
Have any hobnails fallen out?
I found a pair of German made Wachbattailon boots, very little wear, for $85. Heel irons, but no hobnails. Excellent quality and identical to WW2 EM boots.
Rough side out leather on the toe box?
I personaly own a pair of wermacht shoes low boots and they are amazing, the hobnails are originals. I bought them used and I personaly did a few events in them and I did not lose single hobnail yet
I bought Nestoff boots from Man the Line, leather quality is perfect but he hobnails have the same issues with falling out.
Hayden Simmons Does the sole itself fall out, or just the hobnails?
@@nightwolfe0073 just the hobnails, the aren't secured in the boot too well.
Are they still holding up well?
@@stassmith8200 Ehh, need to be resoled. Overall not too bad.
@@haydensimmons6976 how long did they hold up for before you had to have thme resoled
Heres the nitty on my experience, buy SMW or ATF boots both their jackboots and lowboots are the most solid for the price, ATF's new ones will be a little bit better than the SMW's but will be slightly more expensive.
Buy Once, Buy right. I plan on doing a Soviet WW2 Immpression, And I haven't bought any Gear yet, As the Reeanacting Season is Over by now, But what I'd shoot for boots is Either Good condition, Origonal, Or Post War.
I think the Husarenstiefel that are still built today by the 5th generation of Ludwig Reiter are the best of the best boots that high powered men would've worn and right around that era of 1820s-1950s (they're alpine ski boots of Russian elk leather). I bought a pair of Husaren boots on the website the Rake and the boot is the best leather work beyond Ermenegildo Zegna Louis Vuitton anything man they specifically are made in Vienna and through my research seem to equally have French, Russian, German and Hungarian history behind them
Husarenstiefel have a 200 year history! Truly the go getter's boot
Bought my Fallschirmjager boots from Wehrmacht shoes only pair I have ever bought great boots expensive but totally worth every penny.
I’m a size 13 so it’s basically impossible for me
Oh trust me its not “impossible” its very difficult though, I feel your pain. Size 14 my self, FB reenactor groups are good places to look for them, and other websites such as SMW are good to look aswell.
Angelus alcohol based leather dye is my new go to.
how did you made the lowboots color like that? upper is almost red, while lower dark brown. looks so nice
I kinda like the low boots more
How do the boots sizes run from SM Wholesale? My boot size is unfortunately a 9.5 (US) and they only have size 9 and 10
Just put in a thicker insole. Or wear foot wraps.
I do reenacting and always get a size bigger because of either growing or other reasons
Nestof makes great boots, they are from poland but i think kelly sells them as german made
Neatof boots are terrible
@@votydokcz5598 mine held well the time i had them, i have lederarsenal boots now
@@RadierGummiWars i bought them last week, i took good care of them and this weekend after first event, they are destroyed
@@votydokcz5598 damn, seems like thier quality went to shit, mine i bought 2 years ago
@@votydokcz5598define “took good care of them”
Ok I just want to ask if you can do where to buy your us ww1 impression if you want to
My boy the toe plate
Any opinions on the m1939 marching boots from 1944 Militaria?
Do the low boots go with the M40 uniform?
Yes.
Yes but not as well as they do the M42 or 43 uniform as they are straight cut.
Since when did you start using your low shoes?
luftwaffe supplies is the best for uniforms
The At the Front link has expired.
Nazi resources for you right-ist.....
My whole soles are undone for both pairs!
Hey world war guy do you have any experience with the am wholesale officers boots
___________________ Aheago no
Is the one made by Nestof also viable?
nestof.pl/en/products/germany-1933/footwear/schnurschuhe-m43-ww2-german-ankle-boots-repro-8726.html
Never dealt with them
Would you recommend those M1939 jackboots from Man The Line?
Shadow Raven I’ve never dealt with their boots but if you buy from man the line, do it from their eBay and not the actual site.
Many people have complained that they never get their items from the site
Awesome, good to know, thank you so much!
They are good ive had mine for a year going pretty hardcore no hobnails lost or damaged just get them through the ebay page not the mantheline website
Are the hobnails steel or made of something I wonder?
would an officer be wearing those jackboots as well?
Yes
no officers have custom made cavalry boots, theyre similar but slightly differeny
Is Hessen antique field equipment good?
Loading not really, no
@@worldwarguy459 From what I understand Hessen is hit and miss, particularly when it comes to their boots.
I heard theres a Czech[?] site these days that makes jackboots on par with lederarsenal. Anyone know what that site's called?
Boots or boots are more comfortable
Those look like Ropers or “ españolas “ .. those black boots are killer I would wear them everyday..
They’re basically 19th century military Ropers
Can anyone help me with 1944 militaria boots? i cant pick size
They sell boots from SMWholesale. They run true to their size.
Is using east German un-issued boots a good idea?
Heinz Rüdiger no
@@worldwarguy459 Well looks like I need to save money or do Japanese impression.
@@worldwarguy459 what is the reason they wouldn't work? here is an example: www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WW2-GERMAN-LEATHER-OFFICER-RIDING-BOOTS-SIZE-41-EU-9-US-MENS/303393103585?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3Dad9f5a5d99f2405e922507b8a772208e%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D264630947420%26itm%3D303393103585%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524%26brand%3DIssue&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042
Heinz Rüdiger East German boots have rubber soles inside of hobnails, the shaft overlaps the foot instead of the other way around.
Why not just hunt down original boots instead of repro?..I'd think it's a better investment and if the boots are prepped and maintained the occasional use isn't going to damage them..i found original Jack boots in decent shape for $200 at a military show,still quite serviceable..they hold their value and they ooze history,as they should..i can understand repro uniforms but field equipment was/is still quite durable and not that pricey guys,just take care of it,as they would have done
They will still wear out over time, even if you take care of them. Same with ammo pouches, doesn't matter how well you take care of them. Don't use original boots. Very bad idea.
Original boots will still get destroyed eventually, taking care of it won't prevent that, it just slows down the inevitable.
@@annedebroeck2451 I understand what you're saying and agree,everything falls apart.i just don't like spending money on Chinese junk.but in my case Its very rare that I'd wear mine because I don't reenact.just the occasional Halloween use.im careful,I use dubbin(not the synthetic) just as they used.mine are early war enlisted of a decent quality..enlisted boots have a loose fit compared to the officers boots,especially in the calf area.and as far as the other leather equipment including the pouches,dubbin works the best,it won't break down the stitching and it keeps the leather soft.so for reenactment purposes repro may be best,but for rare use,in my case,the real deal is my choice😎..i made a vid of me smoking a cigarette from ww2,it's on my channel for your amusement if you're interested!
@@DumPhuc not all are Chinese junk just saying
And I think that using real original boots and equipment like the pouches you mentioned are way more expensive and you never know what they have being. Like imagine you buy some boots and the seller tells you it was from a dead German soldier will you still wear it? Besides you don't need to worry about them breaking on you cuz they aight original
$30 SHIPPING? WHY?
Mike Manners boots are heavy.
Mike Manners $30? Bah! You should see how much shipping to Australia is. It practically makes it impossible to buy from American sites unless you want to spend more on shipping then the actual item.
Miks Yeah, it’s a shame. But at least Europe has some stores such as schuster. I mostly just buy from the U.K now.
Unironicaly wear these not as a impression as style
Where can I get some good DAK boots?
Fallschirmjäger Guy Films I had heard their high top boots had some fitting issues but their low boots for DAK were pretty good. But I don’t know anyone that actually owns them since no one does DAK. Which also raises the question how do people know these things in the first place.
Fallschirmjäger Guy Films Ok, thanks.
Wehrmacht shoes makes them I think
