World War Two
Published 29 Mar 2022Boots on the ground! Despite all the mobility provided by tanks, trucks and planes, the infantryman had to rely on his own two feet above all else. To march, run and fight, soldiers needed sturdy and comfortable footwear. Choosing between ankle-boots, service-shoes and jackboots, the warring nations were looking for the perfect combat-boot for their soldiers.

Join the TimeGhost Army: https://bit.ly/HARDWARE_021_PRBoots are one of those little things we forget. Trench foot, for example, was way less of a problem in WW2 partly because of improvements in footwear. It’s amazing to think about how much goes into fighting a war, beyond just the battles. Join the TimeGhost Army so we can cover the little things too.
