Should I buy this Jack Boots?
How does this boots look compare to the original one? I'm thinking of buying it since college is about start.
Also,does anyone know any other place that sell jack boots(with hobnail) for a reasonable amount of price? (under 200)

Those boots look horrible! Nothing like the real thing... For your price range (under 200) try ATF, their boots actually look quite good for the price. https://www.atthefrontshop.com/ProductD ... Code=GFBJB

Re: Should I buy this Jack Boots?
I second that. Those boots look like my steel toe work boots.
My personal pair came from Richard Underwood's high quality set and the ATF ones match up quite nice.
They lose hobnails here and there, but *shrugs* Oh well.

Agreed, there are many other options that would be more suited to an accurate reproduction

RAU (Underwood)
etc

The boots in both of those links are no good, sorry. They look nothing like Originals.

Looks similar to mine, got 'em from Militaria Net.
Got to remember, over time they'll 'fade' and 'loosen' up like the real things, as i've been reading you get that 'new-tone glare' from products when they've came straight off the production line.
Just so you lads know Richard Underwood has suspended online sales until further notice. Due to his involvement in a 'hollywood production'.

Multiple members of a Re-enactment unit for Grossdeutschland say the boots below are made extremely well. Very expensive but the quality is said to be top notch. Can anyone else confirm? I have yet to buy my boots as well.

I have a pair of their lowboots and they are excellent. Everyone says that Berger are the best, but I have zero complaints about my current boots. I do alot of tacticals and beat the crap out of them and they have held up superbly. I would imagine that these would be a good purchase, my current Sturm jacks have fallen apart (shocker) so I plan on getting SM to replace them.
