Hi, and thanks for that. I had a pair of original boots years back, but they were in almost as new condition but very stiff so not really comfortable to walk in. I bought the Aero boots as soon as they came out but dont think they make them anymore.Hi rocketeer
I am trying to replace all my original uniform with good quality repros. I don't want to wear out or damage my original kit. It's lasted this long, it deserves to last a lot longer.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to replacing my boots yet. They are original, Air Ministry stamped boots. Made by Hawkins. I will eventually replace them with D Lewis boots.http://www.lewisleathers.com/173.html
They're good but nobody makes repros the same way they did back in the 1930s.
I have seen the D Lewis boots in the shop in London. They looked a bit pointy to me certainly more pointed than my original pair in the 1980s, but the website sole looks more like the Aero boots are, maybe they have altered the style slightly. Seems you cant win.
At nearly £400 I would try to find someone with a pair already, just in case you dont like them.
