Waffen-SS Riding Boots

These boots take 6-10 weeks to deliver.

Riding boots were worn by all mounted units of the SS, including cavalry, horse mounted reconaissance, and field artillery. Riding boots were also the primary footwear of most SS officers, whether or not they were members of mounted units. The use of these boots by officers was a vestige of the days when infantry officers rode while the men walked, so breeches and boots were a sign of rank. These boots were also worn as part of the Parade Uniform for both officers and enlisted men of Hitler's personal lifeguard regiment, the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler.

These exact reproductions are hand made in the USA of top quality leather and feature all the details you would expect to find in a Lost Battalions product. Painstakingly copied from an original wartime pair of German riding boots in the Lost Battalions reference collection, these boot feature shafts 41 cm tall and fully lined with tan leather. The shaft stiffener starts above the ankle to ensure full flexibility of the ankle joint, just as on the originals. The soles and half soles are hand-pegged with the traditional wooden pegs and the stacked leather heels are already fitted with the integrated flange-style steel "heel irons", to guarantee your superior officers will hear a satisfying click when they call you to attention. Stillgestanden!
