Hi,

you're looking for the "chaussures de brousse", commonly called "pataugas".
They come in 2 versions, low and high:

http://www.destockage-surplus-armee.fr/prod/chaussures-militaires-francaise-de-brousses-1500,9.html

http://www.tam-surplus.fr/brodequin-toile-vert-armee-1119.html

Both are correct for Indochina and Algeria war period (until 1962).
Another version was introduced later, in the 70s:

Hope this helps

La Tranchee Militaire has a variety of French army boots even to include the old pre-1950 ankle boots.
