A very good pair of WW1 British Officer’s High Lace up Trench Boots, absolutely typical of those seen in period images of the Royal Flying Corps, though naturally equally worn by any officer in the trenches.


Though the Boots are completely devoid of any markings, the “shoe” section to these has the very distinctive waterproof seaming to the front especially designed in WW1 for trench use and only worn by British Forces in that period. In the more rigid post war environment this special waterproof seaming was banned for wear by the British Army as there was no toecap to polish. In my first image the distinctive top ridge of the special waterproofing seaming can be discerned on the shoe section of the Trench Boots of the officer standing on the left.  


The Boots retain their original WW1 laces, a very rare occurrence as these inevitably end up getting replaced when such Boots are used in civilian life.


Overall condition is very good with the leather to both Boots soft and supple and the stitching intact


Please note that the heel of one of the boots is missing a leather pad, a good cobbler would be able to fix this.


I'm not sure what size they are, so please see photos with the ruler showing measurements of the sole etc.


Any questions please ask.
