WWII US Army Paratrooper Boots Reproduction Military Footwear

These WW2 US Paratrooper Jump Boots replicate the classic footwear issued to American airborne forces. 

Key Features

• Historical Specification: 10-inch shaft made from russet brown buffalo leather with twelve eyelets.
• Snag-Free Heel: Bevelled black rubber heel designed to prevent parachute shroud lines from catching.
• Toe Protection: Toughened box toe cap featuring double-row perimeter stitching and brogue perforations.
• Dual Lacing: Supplied with both yellow-brown braided nylon and traditional brown leather laces.

Adopted in 1942 as Boots, Parachute Jumper, this pattern served US airborne troops including the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. Built to replace standard service shoes and canvas leggings, they protected paratroopers during combat drops across Normandy, the Netherlands, and Bastogne.

Constructed to the standard 10-inch height, the uppers use sturdy russet brown buffalo leather with twelve metal eyelets. Underfoot, a stitched rubber tap sole combines with an angled, bevelled heel. The reinforced box toe cap features brogue perforations to guard against scuffs.

Distinctive diagonal side stitching anchors the internal ankle reinforcement, giving stability across rough terrain. You receive two lace sets: brown leather for early-war impressions and yellow-brown nylon for late-war field kit. The tall profile lets reenactors cleanly blouse their trousers above the ankle.

Complete your WW2 airborne uniform with these period-accurate jump boots.

Care Instructions

Clean off dried mud with a soft brush and damp cloth. Apply a quality russet leather conditioner or dubbin to keep the leather supple, and polish with brown wax for a historic parade shine.
