Ww2 Wwii U. S. Army 10th Mountain Ski Boots Size 8 1/2 Original Great Condition
Up for sale today is an Original Pair of WWII U. Army Mountain/Ski Boots, Type 4. These boots are marked 5 1/2 on the inside, but they are an actual size 8 1/2.
I wear a size 9 boot, and these fit me perfectly with one pair of thick wool socks on. Troopers generally wore 2 pairs of wool socks. These boots measure exactly 12 inches long from toe to heel.
They measure 4 1/4 inches at their widest point. These mountain/ski boots are still in excellent vintage condition. The re are however a few dings here and there on the leather though, but none of this is terrible by any means. There is a small piece of leather missing on one of the tongues, but again it is not bad by any means, and it does not present a problem. The leather is still soft and flexible everywhere on each of these boots.
All of the original stitching is intact and tight everywhere. The original Goodyear heels and soles show very little wear. The brass lacing eyelets are all still in excellent condition, as are all 8 of the brass parts that are used to attach the skis to. These boots still have their original wool felt inserts in them.
I would say that these boots are still nice enough to still be worn even today. This pair of WWII 10th Mountain/Ski boots are sure to make a great addition to your collection. Be sure to super size all of the pictures for a closer inspection. Please view my other auctions for more great military items.
