Sorry if this has been dealt with before, however what type of boots would i be looking at for my 24th foot portrayal...i have already got ammo boots that are used for my ww2 south Wales borderers portrayal, however i read somewhere that the boots needed have no metal toe caps..who or where is the best place to find them, would RAF parade boots surfice as there are no toe caps..any info will be much appreciated

As you mentined no steel toe-caps or rapid lacers.

Sole leather, ideally ex-navy deck boots are ideal, or leather soled parade boots. Get your cobbler to put studs in the sole.
