    WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.

    I recently bought a pair of ankle service boots, like Scotrace showed them. I like to wear them with my WW2 outfit, but also on my motorbike. Going to town, just for some shopping, is also a good time to wear them on my jeans and sometimes A 2. Got a good cork insert and can walk for miles ;)
