Description
German paratroopers, known as Fallschirmjäger, were equipped with some of the most specialized gear in the German armed forces. The standard-issue ‘Jack Boot’ used by other infantry units was inadequate for Fallschirmjäger, as it lacked sufficient ankle support for the demanding conditions of parachute landings.
The 1st pattern FJ boots, utilized from 1937 until mid-1941, feature a side-lacing design (after this period, the boots transitioned to a front-lacing style).
Specifications:
- Side laces made of brown leather and black rope
- Constructed entirely from leather
- Equipped with punched eyelets
- Authentic to original designs
These black leather boots, complete with laces, are essential for World War II German reenactments.
