The boots from Epic Militaria where I got mine from only go up to 11.
I believe that there are biker boots that are based on the jackboot design - can't remember who, might be Harley so probably uber expensive.
I struggled with gaitors as well - thick socks and comfy padded high Magnums made it very nearly impossible.
Seg wears hobnails for airsofting at times ( well he did at the Bulge) as well as being very skiddy made his feet very cold apparently .
i have gone for an all oakleaf out fit it is a very good camo i find the wool abit too warm to go running about in especially the summer. the germans apperently reduced casualties by 30 percent. all my leather was bought at war and peace show and on ebay as for boots keep looking on ebay i found east german jackboots look for east german NVA DDR . also http://www.Gowenmilitaria.com in the usa sell the full east german kit inc boots! but they are quite pricey.

Can someone tell me how one attaches one's EK II class ribbon, in the manner of Oldsweat's avatar, please?

Alex from http://www.frontofrussia.com has a pair of size 12's for me! They're Soviet riding parade boots, code 33B in the field gear section, if anyone wants to check 'em out.
I paid about

Stitch it on, don't forget the "Russian Front medal "ribbon" for the Steiner look! if you look close he has 2 ribbons in his button hole
Thanks Steve - good pics. Now where do I get the Russian Front ribbon from?

Excellent pics and descriptions Guy. Would it be worth doing a photo-strip of various loadouts to go up on the main website?

Yes, I think that would be a cracking idea. Do you fancy putting together a "rough guide" for FJ or other loadouts?
i would be interested in how mag poucches attach where they hang in rgard to rest of webbing

Aye. I put mine on my belt, but it was a bit crammed.

Good plan Oldsweat, i'll wait till my new kit has turned up from Spearhead, then i'll get a W-SS guide done, in addition to the FJ and HG ones. Question is, can you boys and girls put up with my ugly face on that many pics? LOL
