British Army Officer’s High Leg Riding-Field Boots – Early 20th Century-WW1

British Army Officer’s High Leg Riding-Field Boots – Early 20th Century

An original pair of British Army officer’s high leg Riding-field boots, dating from the first half of the 20th century.

These boots are of classic officer pattern, designed for durability and smart appearance, with the characteristic high leg cut associated with mounted service, field use, and formal wear with officer uniforms. They have a studded toe leather sole area, an d have been used with spurs on horseback due to the wear between the heel and front sole.

Crafted from sturdy leather, the boots display the quality and construction typical of British military footwear of the period. Their timeless design makes them equally suitable for collection, display, or period styling.

No maker’s marks are present within the boots, making precise dating difficult; however, their construction and style are consistent with examples from the early 1900s WW1 era.
