Hello, well honestly I have some serious doubts about these trop. ankle boots. I wish I would have a real pair and I only know 2 original ones here in private German collections and they are different than these. I remember 3 years ago a French seller named "Nicolas Beraud" from Aix-en-Provence who offered exact a pair like these and a friend of mine bought them, later it turned out that these were made in the Czech Repuplic and there was a chance of buying more of these. As you see on these boots they are aged very well on their lower section, but on top they appear to be "minty", the Czech seller who had all the other pairs told me that they put them in water and "other treatments" so that the soles and nails + U-iron look somehow 60+ years old!
Also Mr. N.Beraud (the French Seller) used to travel a lot to Prag and came back with many items !!! Anyway for an all original pair I would be willing to spend 2000EUR and the last 101% real pair which was sold here in Germany from one collector to the other went for 1750EUR 1.5 years ago, I also had the chance to buy them, but I wasn`t fast enough....Sorry to say so, but these boots here are definately not what they should be.Original tropical ankle boots are IMO more rare then 2nd model para boots !
