Wwii Ww2 Original Us Army Paratrooper Airborne Jump Boots Pair-a-trooper
They are used in great condition. Please see photos for overall condition. Both boots are stamped inside with the original owners ASN but I can't quite make out the name nor number. It does appear to be an Officer's ASN.
I believe these are a mens size 7. They are stamped but its unclear to me what exact size they are. The tape measure reads at approximately 10.75" from front of leather toe to back of leather heel and approximately 11.25" from front sole to back of rubber heel. Please see those photos and measurements provided.
Would make a great pair of paratrooper jump boots for US Army Airborne display. In 1932, William Brooks, joined by his brother F. "Mike" Brooks, founded The William Brooks Shoe Company in Nelsonville, Ohio, about 60 miles southeast of Columbus. Both men had lost their jobs during the Great Depression when Godman Shoe Co. In search of opportunity, the brothers set up shop in a rent-free Georgia factory with lent equipment and what would eventually become The Georgia Shoe Mfg. The company originally employed 50 to 100 workers with a production rate of 300 pairs of shoes per day. With a newly-constructed addition and the installation of more equipment, by the mid-1930s the factory employed 225 people and production output increased to more than 2,000 pairs per day. During the 1940s and 1950s business continued to grow and the company supplied more than one million pairs of shoes and boots for military conflicts such as World War II and the Korean War.
