wdbikemad Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I reckon they are cadet pattern boots.........I recall that my issue NI boots were without toe-cap, although I have heard that some were manufactured with this feature...... From memory, the sole was similar to the standard ankle boot but lighter weight and the moulding pattern was not completely identical........the variation occurring at the front or back (I simply can't remember)...... Any issue boots will carry an NSN or a contract number, NO metric sizing either...... As for the claim for ankle support....complete b*&%$£s........they were so light-weight that all ankle support had gone.....first time I bust my ankle was on uneven ground the very day after I stopped wearing DMS boots and puttees in favour of these....:embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger10 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'd concur.. The NI boots I used had no toe cap detailing at all.. I have seen normal DMS extended to hi Leg boots back in the 70s but AFAIK you can still buy boots the same as the ebay pair from cadet shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
