Historical Context:

These jackboots were part of the standard issue for German soldiers, particularly in the early years of WWII. Their rugged construction made them suitable for long marches and harsh field conditions. By mid-war, high leather boots were phased out in favor of ankle boots due to material shortages, making these early-war models more collectible today.
