40s Size 9 Service Shoes - US Army The contract stamp is missing, so the exact year is unknown, but based on the details, it's likely from the late 1940s. Shoe holes: 5 Shoelaces: Flat cotton laces. Double stitching is present under the shoe eyelets, and the stitching for joining the outer wing parts to the upper is also double-stitched. The lining of the tongue is felt. Size is 9R. This was marked on the outsole when purchased. This size is quite rare to find in service shoes from this era. The insole has not been replaced, but the outsole has been resoled with a Rendenbach sole. The heel area has been reinforced at that time. Hand-stitched repair on the opening. It would be great to keep it as a collection piece, but it's a golden size, and the condition is good, and the soles have just been replaced, so I think it would be great to wear them regularly.
