First, let me say I have no dog in this fight. NO monetary interest, no profit. This is a public service announcement so to speak. Corcoran, the producer of the original WWII Paratrooper[Jump] Boots is now making the historic BROWN Jump boots as the originals from the 2nd unpleseantness. I have worn Corcoran Jump boots[black,of course] since I left basic training in 1963.[Yes, I am AIRBORNE!] 23 years in the Army and 24 years as a contract flight instructor. I just retired and now have become aware of these new Corcorans.I ordered a pair and BOY,am I impressed!They come with a pair of brown and yellow synthetic laces AND a pair of leather laces.You re-enactors and lovers of "the way we were"do a google on Corcoran Boots # 1510. I found sites with these boots from $139.95 to $179.95. If you buy a pair and break your feet into them[yup,just like ol'times]you won't be sorry.AIRBORNE SIR!!! Nick [all I need now is a Thompson, I have a WWII camo parachute!]
