Original Shoes?

[Julian]

Hello!

Can somebody tell me if these shoes are original?
Thanks in advance

These are of course original shoes - but not from the Wehrmacht...

... but not from the Wehrmacht...

From what are they then?

My first impression was US (typical toecap) - but with those strange markings I would tend more to 50s workers shoes.

Thank you very much.
But to bad they're not German WW2...

Toe cap boots were also worn by the Italians and post 1943 these stocks were also utilized by the Wehrmacht in Italy. They look WW2 Italian to me. Definitely not civilian work boots! Nick

I go with Nick.
There are a lot of similarities with Italian shoes.
See also this thread to view toe caps on German / Italian shoes, very interesting!

First I thought that your shoes are German M 44 (6 holes) , after that Italian M 12...I checked and they are rather not (8 holes , wrong soles and noses). I don't have even a clue about them...

Ok, well thanks anyway

Is there anybody else who knows something about these shoes?
