I have a pair of Australian army black GP boots I was issued, that I've hardly worn in the past 30 years. I also left with several other pairs in the later issued 'baby poo mustard' colour that we got after switching to DPCU camo uniforms. I wore those out hiking and traveling, since they didn't look so military. I think they issued a green colour before switching to a nylon desert boot in the late 90s.

I still have my pair I was issued at Kapooka.....which were put in the locker when I did trade training at Singo
Also found a place in Sydney that had brand new "natural" leather boots (don't have the lime green or baby poo brown coating,so take dubbin really well)

Hello out there!

I just bought my first pair of old army boots. These are really rare. Danish parade ankle boots in brown, from the uniform system m/58. Here are a few pictures. Found them in a local thrift shop, the old rubber sole just crumbled but the leather is really good, actually incredible. Having them resoled with rubber as I wanna use them during the winter so leather is no good. I gave them a quick polish and 60 year old mirror shine peeped out.
I am interested in what kind, if any, you guys use.

Enjoy!
I have to admit I love those boots......
