Rope Souled Military Commando Boots
In black or Brown.

Due to the souls of the issue Army boots in WW2 being so noisy in many wartime scenarios, such as moving through streets, roads, guarding bridges and climbing, a limited amount of these boots were produced for Commando units, after finding that a simple method of tieing hessian around the boots made them completely quiet.

These boots were also worn by those in Jungle Warfare roles as well, long before the BATA rubber soled and green canvas sided boots of the late 50's and 60's were issues.
