  • This is a review / comparison of reproduction WW2 German low boots available from 2 different vendors. One pair is the M42 LOW BOOTS- 5TH GENERATION from Man The Line. The other pair is the GERMAN WWII BLACK LOW BOOTS from SM Wholesale. I tried to cover as many details as possible. Hope this video helps!

    The half-sole on the SM boots looks like it was installed upside down.

      Absolutely true. Also, there are a few other European manufacturers who make shoes like the originals.

    At least you got yours, I ordered a pair of jack boots from him, he didn't actually have them and won't give me a refund, do a search, hes got a lot of feed back for doing this to people. I have since got two pairs from SM wholesale, and they are good quality.

      Let me guess, the $199.99 boots that say back order after you check out in tiny orange letters that you would probably miss if you don't have a 32 inch screen? I ordered back in September, just had to file a claim through pay pal. His gun broker feedback is just as bad.

    you should review the M1943 Buckle Boots from Man The Line. They're the exact same as the SOF Military ones. Most of their gear comes from SOF military

    Hey i come from Germany and when i was younger a lot of grandpas had this kind of shoes as normal working shoes
    because they just hold forever and when they where broken they just brought them to a shoe maker.
    I can tell you that the black ones are way more like the originals, then the others.
    Its not the colour what makes it but the shape of the shoes.
    Sadly not available anywhere here in europe. As far as i know...
    The ones here dont really look original.

    Just received my pair of Man the Line e-bay M43 natural leather low boot, they appear to be very well constructed , overall good quality, made just like the German originals & good price too! ($124.95 they were listed as used show display stock) but look brand new! I have purchased quite a few items from his e-bay listings & all have been good quality, well made, a fair price + he has always shipped fast right after payment has been received. So I will continue to buy from him & other e-bay venders but when it comes to reproduction WW2 you need to do your home work & shop around till you find exactly what you are looking for + most items are made overseas to keep cost down so quality can became an issue bottom line buyer beware!!!

      They absolutely reek of real leather, but they have a weird varnish on them so sadly the patina doesn’t develop in the same way as raw leather

      The varnish can be removed with acetone and water
