Strange Boots

Hey there,

 

I am very confused by these boots. All I know is they are not American due to the number of eyelets and general construction. A Metric size 41. What do you think they are?

very limited knowledge on subject but rm williams...Australian..started business in 1932.I agree with wainfleet the stud pattern matches french boots but some had a horseshoe round the heel.

Do you have any history...where found purchased etc.

It looks like there is French shoulder strap under the boot in the first picture.

I came across these on the internet. I do not own them, nor do I have them in hand. At first, I thought they were M1918 Pershing US boots, then I thought maybe they are B5 boots with strange hobnails. Another friend told me they may be German low quarter boots from WWII. I got very confused as to what they could be so thought to post them here.

I think the continental size on the sole is a bit of a clue.
