Designed originally for Luftwaffe pilots for traction on slippery metal aircraft decks, these flat-soled boots quickly became popular with Fallschirmjägers as well, for crawling out on the wings and fuselages during the early development of skydiving. After this, they became synonymous with the bravado of these early pioneers of avaition combat. They were also considered by some as being a better land shoe. Stemming no doubt from the popularity of the Cowboy and American Indian stories in pre-war Germany and their use of moccasins. These boots are extremely comfortable and conform quickly to your feet. Not to mention being a curio of history. These boots are being shipped to us sometime next week and will be here by the end of May. Your orders will be shipped the week of the 30th of may. Thank you for your patience!!
