Boots, Service, Combat M-1943 (Double Buckle)
The World War II combat boot design evolved from the service shoes used with leggings. The "Boots, Service, Combat" became the first true combat boot, made by extending the service shoe with a high top cuff that closed by a pair of buckles and straps [See top photo on this page, below and right]. The boots were developed as part of the M-1943 field uniform, authorized in November 1943, but not issued to many troops until late World War II, and then issued only to overseas units. The higher top replaced the leggings, a great simplification of both supply and combat use.
作战靴M-1943
二战作战靴的设计是从带绑腿的服役靴进化而来。二战作战靴成为了第一个真正的作战靴,是将服役靴的靴筒提高,并由一对扣件和皮带扣住而来。请看上图和下图,这靴子是作为M-1943野战制服的一部而开发的,授权于1943年,但是知道二战晚期才大量装备部队,并且只装备海外单位。高腰取代了绑腿,是一个对军需单位和作战使用的极大的简化。
