Description
The WW2 US 'Rough Out' Ankle Boots by Epic Militaria are meticulously crafted reproductions of the classic US military footwear known as the "Shoes, Service, Reverse Upper," introduced in June 1943. These boots, with their rugged and functional design, played a crucial role in equipping American troops during World War II and were widely used in various theaters of war.
These reproduction boots stay true to the originals, with the uppers made from sturdy, genuine suede leather. The "rough out" design, meaning the suede side faces outward, gives these boots their distinctive look and durability. They were designed without the toecap found on earlier Service Shoes, streamlining the look and making them lighter. The stitching pattern mirrors that of the original wartime boots, ensuring an authentic appearance.
A robust leather insole enhances comfort, and the rubber sole offers superior traction compared to leather-soled or hobnailed boots from the same era. The recreated grip pattern on the sole's heel and ball further adds to the authenticity, making these boots not only stylish but functional for reenactment purposes or everyday wear. These boots offer excellent value for money and are a superb choice for collectors, WWII enthusiasts, or reenactors.
