1st Pattern Okinawa/Viet Nam Jungle Boots

"These are "1st Pattern Okinawa Boots".

These were made in the 1950's and are the US Army's first attempt at a modern jungle boot.

The boots are basically WWII Double Buckle boots that have been redesigned with canvas parts for tropical climates.

The boots are often seen worn by early advisers who departed for Vietnam from Okinawa, hence the name"
