Low boots.. unusual

[alexandre]

Hi to all,

Here a weird pair of low boots,
the shape is very close to an issue pair (shark nose)
except some details : rivets to reinforce the stitching, marking correct but
with "41" doesn't corresponding to the german centimetric size,
Unknown marking VU-5445

Any opinions or hypotesis are welcome

Do not know it either, but they certainly look good. I would have them in my collection. Really like the condition.

I like the shape and the double sole, nailing on the sole looks correct but the rest is uncommon. Would it not be private purchase?

Hello Carles,

Hello Carles,

VÚ 5445 Plzeň (Bory) existed from 1945 to 1949. It was a postwar military airport/air base in city Pilsen..

Thanks to have elucidate the VU marking,
Now, difficult to know if this pair was made before 45 for the german army and
used post war by CZ...or manufactured in 46 with german shape copied

Never seen German period low boots with metal stud add on ( iernal or external )side stitches
