Im looking for photos of GJ Officers using officer boots but hobnailed like EM/NCO ones or - even better - photos of boots itself. Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance

Re: GJ officer boots with EM boots nails
Yuri....real Gebirgsjäger officers wear Bergschuhe!!!
Don't see too many officer's wearing tall riding boots in the field...usually only staff officers.
I have see a pair of Gebirgsreitsteifel at the Gebirgstruppe Museum in Sonthofen, but they had a rubber cleated sole...the early vibram type.
General Dietl is seen wearing these type in some photos when he's not wearing Bergschuhe.
Berg Heil!

Yuri...are you sure that those boots are German??? Maybe Hungarian or Romanian mountain troop officer boots.
