Didn't get the buckles on my brown shoes,but those boots weren't very comfortable at all (1954)......... After basic when I was sent to Bragg for my AIT in C Co,505 PIR the guys told me to ditch the boots and get the Cocoran brand jump boots in cordovan( brown or black colors were not allowed)........I wore them in jump school,SFTG and never had a problem with them being able to be worn without approval in any Airborne outfit I served in.................I realize that was quite a few years ago but I really don't understand all this BS about what boots I should be wearing,didn't have them modified(?)just wore them like I got'em .......
