    those boots look black color and are not the type used during the Korean War. Bet the photo is from 1959 or early 60's

    Boots

    You are right, Robert... when I took Basic in 1960 they were still using up brown boots. Some guys got black, but some got brown and a bottle of leather dye. "Brown shoe Army" became the denigration for anything old fashioned or outmoded.
    Real men measure once and cut.
