Wanting some information on boots I purchased

Hi Everyone,

I recently picked these up for a really good price (too good to turn down) from my go-to dealer. I'm fairly certain they are German WW2, but wanting some further information from the experts on here.
- The heel appears it has been replaced at some point, as I haven't seen German boots with a rubber heel.
- There are no holes from hob nails in the sole
- I've never seen boots with the buckles at the top. Is this a different type of boot or something?
- On the sole, I can make out a '42' and a '6'. I'm assuming this is a year and size?
- On the sole of the boot (inside), there is a '41' stamped.

Just wanting people's thoughts and information on what they see when they look at the photos.

Thank You!
