hey guys. Need some advice on vintage combat boots.
I have no idea what size or type to go for. I currently wear some chunkier tactical boots with the outfit I have but I want a more authentic look.
I wear a 10.5 in sneakers, should I go up? Down? Any recommendations on the type to buy?
I grabbed these for fairly cheap:

I hope this will help you!
Anyone have an opinion on these? Are they accurate? I can’t really find any good pictures of the boots in the film.

Those boots would do the job IMO. I think the boots used in H1 where “Altama Jungle Boots”

Woah! Thanks so much .
They would do it, but they don’t have the right vibrate soles like the hero pair.
I found this pair for only $50! Here’s a pic of the soles, do these match the hero pair? Also I am curious, how do we know what soles were on the hero? Are there some shots of the boots from the bottom that I’m unaware of? Heres the picture. Would love some confirmation.
I’m an EXTREME stickler for details, trust me the pics of the ones I have above are the ones you want. There was a thread where this pic was WAY blown up and you could clearly see the tread from a side/rear angle.

Correct, those are accurate! I have the exact same kind.
Great! And that’s awesome. Thank you so much for the help.

Yes, they are what you want.
Does anyone know thw Sole Pattern that was used on the boots? I also thought it was Sahara, but I think I may be wrong.
Also, Lamson78’s boots are a 9 lace-up boot. The Ebay ones are a 10 lace-up boot. Does anyone know for sure what the lace-up was? 8,9, or 10?
Vibram sole is the name/style.
Wow, awesome. How you guys find this stuff out I will never know lol
