British marching boots. W.Evans (Leicester), 1945 and broad arrow marked.

These appear to be British naval pattern boots, usually issued to sailors on board ships. This is why they have no hobnails on the soles, as this would make them slippery on a wet deck and conduct cold in icy conditions. They were never intended to be worn as marching boots.
It does look as if the top of the boots have been cut down - they should have a higher front and lower back. Maybe someone cut them down to make them look more like German marching boots?
