Description
The M60's were the combat boot of choice for the Czechoslovakian Army during the Cold War, not that they had too many choices. A durable, full grain leather construction has kept these boots intact over the years. All are already broken in and supplied with new laces, ready for the next wearer. Due to the age and use of these boots, you may want to revitalize the leather with the care instructions provided at the end of this page.
We estimate these boots are dated around the 1980's—when men were tough and boots were tougher. The design consists of metal eyelets for the laces, leading up to the double straps at the top. These straps have a few different fastening styles but all provide the same end result. Some are secured with two D-rings, others are box frame or regular frame style buckles. The grip on the rubber soles may also vary from the pictured boots. Regardless of the slight variations, you're getting some old-school, rugged combat boots for a low surplus price.

If your leather boots are misshapen, soak the pair in hot water until the leather is soft and pliable. Next, scrub each shoe with saddle soap which removes dirt and replenishes lost oils. Rinse them out and dry them off. Wear the boots around with thick socks on so the damp leather forms to the shape of your foot.
Once all is said and done, you can treat them with some shoe oil and black shoe polish. You could also replace the old insoles with new ones. Continue to regularly maintain your leather boots to ensure a long life of use. For more information, check out our Boot Maintenance blog.
