Swedish Army M59 Boots
These rugged leather boots sport a rubber coating to keep you dry and a tongue designed to keep water out of the top. They feature a ski groove in the heel for snowshoes or skis, pair them with some nice gaiters and you’re set!
Its no wonder with the durability, support and water resistance that the SAS in the Falklands ditched their issued boots for these. As supply is drying up, don’t miss your chance at a pair of these beauties!
These boots are intended to be worn with thick wool socks during all seasons to stop chaffing, so if you wear smaller socks you can squeeze into a much smaller size very easily. As a size 10.5 mens I was able to wear the size 7 comfortably with normal socks.
As these boots are from as early as the 1960s, including some from the 70s and 80s (even a pair or two thats been overstamped with the year 1990), some external discolouration is to be expected. With a polish and a little scrub it could easily be reversed. The most common thing being some blue-ish oxidization around the eyelets for the laces which is easy to remove.
