What did you choose for your GB1 Boots?

+9.62 from Georgia to Massachusetts I don’t think that is too out there.

Too bad they, like most sites, only offer expensive shipping options to Hawaii. $50, are you kidding me?

Yes, But that is still cheaper then buying a $150.00 pair of boots and then charging +50 on them.

These are the boots I opted for: http://www.copshoes.com/p-CO-902.html

They even have 10% off because of the upcoming holiday.

Ordered my boots and acouple of days later I got them in the mail. And they are good boots too, i would recommend this site.

youre in HI you shoudl haev tons of surplus stores there due to the bases there.

yeah ARMY jump boots, best option. mine need soles as there were worn out long ago so looking for the USRA issued ones from the mid 90’s, but without the smooth sole.

i got my boots from kerezman BEFORE i he was blacklisted on here, theyre real flimsy and within a year of wearing them the soles pulled right off the inner sole…sooo i mean its not an amswer considering kerezman is blacklisted NOW…ill be picking up a new pair eventually, i just grabbed a pair of dr. soles and some super glue :wink:

Mine are resin replicas.

I keed, I keed.

Okay, I don’t have that much $$$ to spend on boots. Here is what I found:

Aesthetically they are the same. Throw some Dr. Scholl’s in there and you’ll be fine.

Yeah, until they rub your ankles and heels raw.

If you’re already dropping half the cost on cheap imitations, why not just go all the way and get some nice boots? They will literally last a lifetime.

Surely you’ll still be wearing shoes in a few years?

Those boots look good but they are uncomfortable as hell! I switched up to a pair of non zipper jump boots (until I can get some of the 995s) and I’m much happier.

Hey I found a site that has the Corcoran 995 boots for $102, then with this 10% coupon code “military” it is $91.80 with Free Shipping!

$91.80 shipped is a pretty good price! :cool:

I went for these:

The only bit accurate is a side zip, but they are comfy as hell and got them for £30 on ebay!

Awesome find! That’s even less than I paid :wink:

I just picked up a pair of vintage Vietnam era Corcoran 10" Jump Boots on Ebay (no side zippers). I am surprised how great the condition they are in, smooth soles stitching and tacks on the bottom. They look just like the movie ones minus the zipper. Feel nice too :smiley:

I have a question on the boots, does the corcorans come with a steel toe? and if so do they make a similar boot without? I cant find it on their site so I figured Id ask anyone who owns them

My Corcorans do not have a steel toe, but I can’t vouch for all versions of the paratrooper boots.

I have a question as well. Why do Egon’s boots always seem so much taller than the others?

Which kind do you own monolith?

From what I’ve been reading, prior to buying my boots, the Corcoran 995s, none of the jump boots have steel toes. Many have steel shanks, which are metal plates in the soles of the boots.

The XCS2525 style have steel toes, but they aren’t jump boots.
