Original Item: Only One Pair Available. This is an excellent condition, nearly unissued pair of Korean War Era M1948 Russet Combat Boots in size 9 W, as marked on the inside and top exterior. These are very popular on the market, as they are almost identical to the WWII US paratrooper jump boots. They are non-steel toed with rubber nailed soles and rubber heels, and have eleven eyelet holes, as compared to the twelve seen on WWII Paratrooper boots.

The markings on the inside of the boots indicate manufacture by GENERAL SHOE COMP. and give contract number 76436 next to the size. There is also date and manufacture information, but those are unfortunately not clear. The soles of the boots have correct one piece rubber soles and heel pieces by B.F. Goodrich, with the correct logos and clipped corners on the front of the heels.

A great chance to pick up a great example of these boots. Almost all that we see on the market saw long service, while these just have a bit of wear. Ready to display, or even wear!
