  • Original Item. Only One Available. This is a scarce set of WWI M1917 Marching shoes, which are well-marked but without a complete date we can see. This model of shoe saw heavy service in the U.S. Army during WWI, having replaced the Model 1912 Russet shoes. They are matched, size 7 ½. 


    Both shoes retains their laces but both laces have some fraying as shown. They both have markings that are very clear:


    W.H. McELWAIN COMPANY
    7 ½ EE H 2071
    BOSTON DEPOT
    SPEC. 1271 CONT. 1446 OCT. 15.


    The soles of both shoes show very moderate use. This is a fantastic set of shoes that would fit well in any WWI Display! Comes ready for further research and display.
