It's not just because they are objectively better in some way (soles come to mind as a definite advantage of modern shoes but you can slap those on old fashioned leather shoes if you wish) but also because of industrialisation and how it has replaced the small personalised craftman with the five sizes fit all factory mass production. Of course soldiers won't wear these kind of leather shoes anymore, they don't have the time and motivation and money to buy, wear in a bespoken shoe and take care of it. They wear throwaway clothing like everyone else does. But since you're in this thread it should be pretty obvious that wearing old fashioned leather shoes adds a bit of the old world spirit into your look. Honestly a bit ridiculous you'd call it LARP.
