They look 'the boys' :thumbup: nice find Gill. Them leather pouches look useful in the vintage section. Going to have to set an eBay account next year

Hmmmm can't find any reference to them in the Italian military, or any specifications... They look a bit too "moon boot" to me

Yea I saw those, but no mention of their cold rating, inners are terry towelling as far as I can tell which isn't the best insulator and no mention of military/Nato Stock No's etc

These are called "stivali dopo sci, Esercito Italiano". These are the original, hence the price
