Old Leather Boots

[Gromow]

Old leather shoes manufactured by Norrona.
On the side an inscription from small holes "Hl".
Similar to the low boots of the Swedish army.
Are these military or civilian shoes?

Norwegian due to the text but i have no qlue if military or civilian

Purely a guess, but my guess is that the Norweigan Army would order their boots without advertising on the soles.

Also, as one who occasionally repairs army boots, I don't think the heels and their method of fastening are nearly sturdy enough for military service. Again, just a personal opinion.

Norwegian Army Boots , but eventually resoled or made postwar due to the plastic heels .
Period boots were with a flat U iron pieceon the heel like the german Army and nails on the sole .
Mine are marked with the manufacturer's logo and HI as well .
I just completed last year a Narvik 40 evocation complete soldier uniform for the Norwegian Army , with a help of a Norwegian member here for the boots+cap !
