Sorry, I thought the SS forum is the correct one.
Thanks, but how can you say "for sure no German WW2"?
I think they show the typical details even if they dont look like standard low ankle boots.

Any other opinion?

Where are the experts?

One more photo. Isn´t that an SS42 stamp?

Very nice boots !

Are these not ski boots ? They have the correct heel with the grove in it and also the high toe cap for the ski's to fit.

I like the stamps - they look correct to me ! I did not realise they stamped work boots with SS runes :-)

NICE BOOTS - do you want to sale ?

Regards Mark

These look a lot like those low boots that were made for the WH through the Chech mfg.

So could these be czech manufactured SS ski boots then?

[bockerer]

but for sure not German ww2.

Thanks but why for sure? What about the SS stamps?

[bockerer]

Finally the last photo which proofs that these boots are SS low ankle boots.
Are they that rare that noone recognized them?

Can anyone say where this company is located?

[TONY Q.W.]

Intresting markings, nevertheless.

Yes, the CZ's must have made about 20 milllion pairs of military boots during and right after WWII given the number of examples that are attributed to them by current collectors!

Collectors today seem to have a template of about a 1/2 a dozen differnent patterns of WWII German military designs that they believe in....anything outside of these rigid ideas gets tossed.

I find these boots very compelling as WWII SS from the photos. I think that there were dozens of different variations that were made under German contract both for the 4 branches of the military and the many organiations of the the para-military...like police, HJ, and party organizations.....collectors reconize on some of these.

The myths have become larger than the truth. The most laughable is the "shark nosed" toe requirement and the one accepted way that the instep welt has to be fabricated.
