Yep it's the boots, prietty good considering I got them for about £2

And yer I know Im slouching I was looking at a specific place on the garden fence, that and I was trying to position my arms and body so as much of my webbing was visible as possible.

Next on the list is adding a splinter smock (not nessecarily most correct I just love the way they look) to my german impression for an autumn look and removing the helmet cover spraying the helmet grey and putting the rubber band around it and Heer decals.

Splinter trousers?

You'd look better with army issue grey trousers as an expediency. I've never seen splinter trousers on FJ.

Are you doing some sort of para artillary?

Arm of service colour for FJ was yellow as a 'flying' arm, red collar tabs are flak.

You can get repro front-lacing FJ boots, but they have (realistic) flat leather soles, so have zero grip - and are also very expensive! Those ones you have look quite good; the last but one British army boot - BCH (Boots Combat High) are a good approximation of the real thing, without paying silly money.

Smellypocket don't you have Lufty straight leg trousers for your field division impression? I'd recommend wearing them instead of the splinter trousers as like Gadge I don't recall ever seeing FJ wear those.

I spoke to one of the guys a platoon earlier on, for inspiration on my Glocke loadout. He showed me some pics of the "jedburg teams" which is what the OSS used to call the spies who trained up local resistance fighters in france and holland. Funny pics, quite a few good ones in a book. Thwy were wearing m1 helmets, m43 jacket (with pinned on us flag upper left arm, british paratrooper wings on right arm with special forces wings above.) mustard trousers and corcoran jump boots. Apparently it was said that if US spies were caught using civilian/german uniforms, they could be tried as spies, death by firing squad and good night mr tom. If they were caught in US uniforms, they had to be treated as POWs.
