KM Canvas shoes

[WWIIBuff]

I recently added these shoes to my collection. I don't have a mannequin yet to put them on, so now I need to put one together.

Based on the almost mint condition, I do not believe this pair was ever issued.

Unissued (NOS) Naval Deck shoes it appears. I would have preferred seeing an eagle over M Kriegsmarine stamp somewhere,
but if the price was right maybe worth the gamble...

From Italy you said?
In this thread an ebay set from Italy got thumbs down...unfortunately no pictures and the auction disappeared...
Perhaps somebody remembers those and can compare them with your set?

Thanks Nick. I appreciate the comments. I wish mine were like yours too.

Any other opinions would be appreciated. These same shoes have been sold on dealer sites recently, or are still available, but I know that doesn't mean anything.

Here are two other minty pairs from dealer sites:

And here is a lightly used pair from another dealer site:
