This is a well used pair of original paratrooper jump boots with 12 eyelets. They have been resoled and one of the soles is beginning to separate (see pics). They will work wonderfully on a mannequin or in a static display. They could be polished and shined, but I left them rough for an authentic combat look. No legible size tag, but the soles measure approximately 12.5 inches.

Very early into the war effort, manufactures stopped using brass for boot eyelets, which makes this pair of jump boots unique and perfect for use in an early Airborne display. The boots have been well worn with the heels and soles replaced. However, they appear to be period replacements because the soles have pieces of fiber mixed in (as seen in WWII USMC boots).
The size is no longer legible, but the boots measure 12.5 inches on the sole from toe to heel and 5 inches across the ball of the foot, so they are a decent size.
The back of the heel on the right boot had the stitching resewn and the achilles was bolstered with leather (see pic). The boots also appear to have been coated with beeswax to waterproof them at one time. I cleaned a lot of it off, but there is still some wax in the seams. The leather is supple and I am confident these boots could be shined up quite nice if that is the look you are going for. They look great as-is as a field worn boot by a WWII paratrooper!
