Fallschirmjäger Jump Boots - 2nd Model

A more authentic Fallschirmjäger jump boots, for less.

The result of assessing a dozen original 2nd pattern FJ boots, this new pattern is the closest to an original we've ever had. 100% real leather was used for the soles and uppers. Hand-made welt-stitching of the sole follows the traditional construction of military boots from the period.

The key features that makes this pair a true copy are all present:

• 12 pair of lace holes;
• Tongue sewn with the upper to make the boot more unlikely for water to seep in;
• metal nails reinforce the outer sole with the inner sole;
• groove on the heel.

So you could get a pair of boots that looks and feels like the original.

These jump boots were an improvement over the first pattern, now being front laced, preventing ankle injuries. This model was the most common and has seen extensive use with all paratroopers, even after being grounded on Hitler's orders.
