A pair of dark brown leather lace-up combat boots with ankle buckles, dating from the Second World War period. Each boot features 11 eyelets for laces and a single buckle strap at the top for additional fastening. The boots show heavy wear and deterioration:
-The left boot has its tongue cut off halfway up and the sole completely detached.
-The right boot retains its sole but it is lifting and partially separated from the upper.
-Both boots lack full laces; a 5-inch fragment of lace remains threaded through a few eyelets on the right boot.
-A leather reinforcement patch on the right upper interior is missing, leaving exposed stitching and wear marks.
The leather surface is cracked and discolored from age and exposure, indicating extensive field use.
