Looking For WW1 type Ammo boots

[General Ignorance]

Can anyone suggest a supplier for new WW1 type toe cap less British ammo boots?

I have tried all the usual routes WPG, SOF etc. They all seem to do them but from size 7. I'm a twinkletoed size 5 1/2 or 6.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Expensive, but one of our guys swears by them.

Lennons are simply the best , accept no imitations!

Unfortunately the £179.00 price tag is a bit above my budget at the moment.

I'm having to look for a more "budget" alternative.

Thanks anyway,

Don't suppose you're anywhere near Bridlington are you? There's a military trader there who always has boots but only in small sizes. I don't think they're expensive. I know what you mean about budgets etc but Lennon's really are the best, if you can find a pair second hand?

I'm not that far from Brid & could definitely take a trip over there. Can you give me some idea as to where this fellow is?

I will get round to getting some Lennon's sooner or later, but having just spent nearly 2 grand kitting my lad out in his WW1 stuff, I am having to explore more "economical" options for myself.

I hear you! He does the market there (can't remember what day it runs) and he doesn't always have them on his stall, but if you ask him he'll bring some along. We did have some deck boots in a small size for my oldest boy, but I don't know if the other half sold them. If not, you can certainly have first dibs.

Cheers Kate,

In the meantime I may take a trip over to Brid next day off I get.

Check on market day first, there's one midweek but not sure if there's still a Saturday market.

Yes, but not right though for various reasons...

As mentioned, Lennons the best by far - may be expensive but they're worth it, wearing mine for five years and absolutely wonderful, when my feet are on the line I wouldn't want budget boots

[Dixie]

I would agree. Cheap boots = sore feet at the end of an event. I have sore feet, work the rest out!
