THE HISTORY:
The 1940s WWII Toe Cap Paratrooper Boots hold a significant place in military history as a specialized design created for the unique demands of airborne forces during World War II. As paratroopers faced intense combat situations, often landing behind enemy lines, they required footwear that offered unparalleled durability, support, and functionality.
These boots were originally crafted with reinforced toe caps to protect soldiers' feet during parachute jumps and rugged landings. The high ankle design provided critical support to prevent injuries, while the sturdy leather construction ensured durability in harsh combat conditions. Their soles were engineered for reliable grip on various terrains, from muddy battlefields to urban environments.
THE LEATHER:
Aspen is Horween's latest horse leather tannage, crafted from the front section of the horse. This leather is prized for its dense fibers and tight grain, offering a rustic aesthetic that blends smooth grain areas with natural pebbled contours.
GMTO DETAILS:
This GMTO (Group Made to Order) will run until December 31, 2024, or until all leather is allocated.
Pricing: The full base price is $649.99 USD, with the final payment due prior to delivery.
Leather Characteristics: Horween horsefront is a softer, lighter leather, requiring both a lining and a structured toe puff for durability.
