Old Military Boots?

These boots were Made in England. The laces are thin (older) and the lace eyelets are small. Are these military boots? Boondockers?

 

11 1/2? I thought Europe used that other sizing system... maybe these were made for American consumers?

Edit - They would "translate" to a 46 or so for Europe?

 

Wow, thanks, Davey... good to know. Is 11 1/2 there the same as it is here? If so, ummm... may I say... you have quite a pair of ocean liners there...

 

Thanks Everyone!

They look like paddock boots.

 

Davey your shoes look like my shoes I've got paddock boots, hiking boots etc galore too

 

Being old and beat up I probably wont be able to sell them for much. Oh well, they didn't cost me anything.

 

the boots do look very well made......sought after by steampunk fans , maybe ???

 

If they were 11 1/2 US they'd be my length more or less, but probably about five sizes too wide. I wear women's 13N sneakers, but only about an 11 dress shoe. My dad wore US 13s, so to me that doesn't sound all that huge. I have male friends who wear 15s and 16s - now those are some big feet.

 

Agree with Say-It-Slowly. They look like paddock/riding boots.

 

Hi,
What is this nonsense about big feet? I am a 15wide. Some basket ball players are 20 or 22. I used to be a 13 but over the years I have grown to 15. The worst is getting socks. No problem being a 13 but a 15, problems. I went to a tall mans store and for socks they wanted 12 dollars a pair!!!!!

Hi Davey,
I used to get my socks at the flea market, a buck a pair. Living down here there is no markets and the regular stores do not carry my size in socks. I should start looking on line.
