Last Updated:

All items are reproduction unless otherwise
noted!
Service Shoe, Type II
Standard service shoe (lowboot) issued in WWII. This is the second model (the first model (M1939) had an all leather sole) and was the most common shoe for soldiers in the army and air corps. It features chrome tanned russet brown leather upper, toe cap, leather sole, rubber heel and half soles. For field use, this was worn with the M1938 Leggings. Imported.
$110.00
Original Laces (pair): $1.002 Pair of US Reproduction Boots
$195.00
Save $20-$50
Price is good for any two pairs of reproduction US boots. Two pair of Combat Service Boots, or one pair of Jump Boots with one pair of Combat Service Boots and so forth.
Fit: These are patterned from an original WWII Boot which run a half size larger than modern ones. Thus, if you wear a half size, order down, not up. For example, if you wear a 10.5, order a 10.
Width: Although they are marked "D", all of our boots are made on an "E" (wide) last. If you have extra narrow feet, an insole and thicker socks may work. For extra wide feet you can try going up a size. Most people have honestly been able to find something that fits. There have been far fewer problems with this sizing than I had anticipated.
Availability
No half sizes.
No wides.
No sizes other than what is listed hereReturns: Used boots are not returnable, except in cases of product failure. (Sole falls off, eyelets out, etc). Try them on in the house and walk around the living room and be sure they fit before polishing, sealing or wearing them in the field.
Squeaks: Some of these boots squeak when new. For the uninitiated, that's not a diabolical plan on our part to alert German snipers to your presence. It's a fact of life with leather boots and shoes. It will normally work itself out as they break in. My Corcorans squeaked when I first got them in the Army. (The real Army...) If your boots have not been worn, you may return them. If the boots are worn, a squeak is not a defect warranting replacement. It's not a defect. It's leather. Someday we'll see about getting custom-made-squeak-free vinyl boots made...
Loose Eyelets: We have had several boots lose one or more eyelets. It appears that on one run, the dies were not adjusted properly at the factory and some are improperly set. We have spare eyelets to match. We can send them to you or you may send us the boots and we'll fix them. If you are overseas, please contact us first as the shipping back and forth exceeds the cost of the boots. We will not reimburse international shipping.
Original Service Shoe Laces: Original 1944 dated Brown Nylon laces for service shoes. (The package was dated July 1944. The individual laces are not marked.) 40" long. Yes, they had nylon in WWII
Pair $1.00
