US WW2 Womens Field Boot Seconds Wrong Shaped Heel

Women's Field Shoe, field boot. Seconds.

These are being sold at cost price and as seconds as they have the wrong heel fitted to the boot. The factory for some reason only known to them decided to change the heel and put the heel from the women's shoe onto the boot. 

In the early years of WW2 the American army did not have a field boot for women, so they had to wear the men's boots which generally were too large in fit so were not as comfortably as they could have been.

In 1942 the US Army developed a boot specifically for women, the US Army women's field shoe was similar to the men's leather service boot and was designed to fit women's feet so they were slimmer. In 1943 they made a few improvements. 

The WW2 US Women's service shoe (boot) by Kay Canvas is a replica of the 1943 model and features:

• No toe cap.
• Leather mid sole with a composite rubber sole and heel.
• Ankle high boots.
• 8 eyelets high.
• Wrong shaped heel.

Fit wise these are a good fit, if you are in between sizes then order the larger size or if you are planning on wearing thick winter socks then you may need to go up a size.
