Mine are labeled "Ro-search," later year, and I paid a similar price new. It seems like there are tons of these Vietnam-era combat boots just lying around in warehouses new.

I see subtle differences between mine and yours, actually, but they're similar.

Great boots. You don't think they can be re-soled?

>> No.13124828

>>13124682
yours are nice. so pristine.
the sole on mine isnt stitched just cemented on. i could always sand them flat and glue/nail some half soles on them but a full resole wouldnt be possible i think. added lug half soles the other day to the red wings in the pic above cause the cork was way too slick and the half soles will wear down first before the actual sole.

>> No.13125020

depends on what you need them for. the lug sole will have a lot more grip and traction compared to the cork sole and will prolly wear down a little slower too.

$50 isn't cheap for them, maybe in America? I got some grade 1 for about $35 in Europe. Grade 1 still wont be anywhere close to new though, the leather was great, no marks, just the soles were pretty worn and they really need to be re-heeled. I find them great though, pretty comfy and the best looking military boots.

They're sized for thick socks, and the leather is protective but not insulating so in real winter conditions you definitely need them. In my experience the length is TTS but they're wide and the arches are high (even for my stupidly high arches, I literally can't fit in any Allen Edmonds oxfords). With thick socks and insoles, the way they were meant to be worn, they're TTS all around.
