Buzz Rickson's Service Shoe is a faithfully accurate reproduction of the M-43 ankle boots issued to American G-I's in WWII, with custom-made soles, heels, and details that painstakingly reproduce all the great little bits of the originals. They are crafted with a high-quality roughout leather that looks like the original, and is sure to age and patina excellently with wear. Like the original models, Buzz Rickson's M-43's are built with custom-made rubber outsoles and heels, rivets securing the uppers to the vamp, like the ones used on early Type III M-43 boots, and brown eyelets, accurately constructed with single, triple, and quadruple-needle stitched panels and resoleable Goodyear welt construction.
