Actual British WW1 pattern trench boots this company found in their basement. They used to make them, back in the day, like many other companies.

William Lennon.
The squared off toe made walking up and down sharply cut trench steps (cut into the earthworks) easier.

Same boot, more historically accurate leather (waxed/oiled roughout).
The maker had a surviving specimen in their basement of the boot they made for the army in 1914, so this is as accurate as they come, especially considering they're made on the exactly the same machines that have also survived to the present day. Hobnailed sole optional.

I want to like them, but I can't get over that horrid squared toe section.
