Maybe this will help a bit. The 1510 Corcoran is what you're after. Also, if you use the search function you can find discussion on the boots and other equipment of the 101st.

Treasures are out there just waiting to be found by those who are willing to dig them out.

Enjoy!

Thanks

Just remember if you get you a pair of those boots, put them on soak them then wear them till they are dry. If you dont you will be in pain, blisters will be very bad.

Luttrell,
Are you talking about Wellco boots or Corcoran boots ?

Thanks

Corcoran, they feel like they are made out of metal when you get them. If you soak them in warm water and wear them around it will soften them up and form them to your feet.

that is good advice for any leather boots especially if they are a tad tight i've done that with several pairs of cowboy boots
