  1. Thanks @Trachta I spent quite a bit of time trying to find this moment when the G.I. walks across the bridge to try and get a good look at his boots and then freeze framed it to get as good a look as I could. Quite the exercise! But I think it clearly shows that the cuff is seperate from the rest of the boot

  2. I am convinced that there is no hard armour on the boots at all, so I completely agree with you. I believe that what he's wearing are standard officer boots with a flared cuff worn around the ankle. 

    And I also agree that the shins look different to the rest of the armour. The colouring, lighting and texture of the shins match the feet and don't match the rest of the armour, so I'm in agreement there too.

  3. Hello there,

     

    Thanks for posting Andy.

     

    I am the GML in question and after some closer examination, I believe that the G.I. wears basic officer boots with a flared "cuff" or "ring" around the ankle. You can see that the cuff is definitely a seperate piece from the rest of the boots in these shot (photos incoming) Whether this cuff is made of leather or is a hard armour, I'm not 100% sure on, but my bet would be it would also be leather.

     

    Cheers,

    Timmy
