DESCRIPTION
These black boots are marked with the year of manufacture, 1945. They are of Swedish origin, produced by Gyllene Gripen, a well-known Swedish producer.The boots are stamped with the three crowns, indicating that they once belonged to the Swedish military. They feature leather soles and are equipped with toe plates. The boots have the characteristic rounded heel cap combined with a narrow shaft, which is often seen in old boots but almost never in modern ones. The condition is good; they are not unused but still have a lot of life left if properly cared for.
SIZE
In terms of size, they correspond to a modern EU 42 (US 9/UK 8.5), exactly as marked. Feel free to compare the provided measurements with the fit of one of your own pairs of shoes that you are happy with.

Our range of classic shoes -vintage and contemporary alike - is carefully selected. We carry both completely unused and slightly used pairs, many of them one-of-a-kind. They vary in age - from early 1900s to today. The one thing they all have in common is that they are high quality shoes.
Using good shoe trees is an important part of caring for your quality footwear. The shoe trees serve several functions that together help extend the life of your shoes. The cedar wood effectively absorbs moisture from the shoes, while the design of the shoe trees ensures that the shoes maintain their shape. The pleasantly scented wood also helps to minimise bad odours. We offer a split-toe model that expands once inserted to ensure that the upper leather is stretched sufficiently.
Available in various values and valid for our whole selection of both vintage and new products.
