Does anyone have any info on these at all? I want to assemble a Marine Raider impression and I really wanna get the right boots. I haven't been able to find any pictures, and the only thing I can get on google is a vet recounting his boots saving him from loosing a foot on guam. Anyone got pics or anything?

never heard of raiders using steel toe boots, that's a new one to me. I would imagine they would be some kind of mechanic boots. You would be correct to use the boondockers too.

What Adler said. But some Raiders wore Loggers boots. Hard to find. In bougaianville and New Georgia a jungle boot was issued.MAden of green canvas and black rubber sole. The closest thing I have found remotely resembling this is an ankle high Paladium boot. The originals were calf high. The paladium boots run into the mid30s cost range.
