Original Items: Only One Pair Available. This is a mint condition pair of German World War Two 1940 Pattern Luftwaffe Airman’s Flying Boots. The construction is of black leather for the shoe area and black suede for the shafts. Electrical elements are enclosed in the boot with the standard Luftwaffe press-stud connectors at the top. These would snap onto the matching connectors on the trousers.
These 24 volt electrically heated boots are the same pattern as the standard single zip flying boot but feature a heating element in the foot section. The boots were connected via the small press studded tab at the top to corresponding tabs on the flying suit or trousers. These are of late-war construction, the suede upper panels being of generally even color and the buckles and zips zinc plated steel. Later boots such as these feature an increased number of panels and plastic zips.
Each boot has a label inside the zipper reading 29 4 805, indicating a size 29 cm. The original Rapid zippers are in excellent condition. The snaps and buckles are excellent and perfectly functional. The fleece lining is fantastic as are the soles. Black rubber soles feature a hand logo with “SG” and also “W.O.” Perfect to complement any heated flight suit, or a great piece on their own.
