My dad claimed that they were made of horse leather - this was a Good Thing as far as he was concerned. Got them from a place called "Mr Lee's" that used to be on Hornsey Road, just down from Jav's Cafe.

I had a pair of these for about 10 years. Bought from an army surplus place back in NI. They were amazing. Did me for many trips to the Mournes and when I started digging (archaeology). Didn't take at all long to break in and were sealed to the top of the boot.

Thanks stevo - were these the desert boots or the German paras?
