Your input is already good enough for me thanks. So my 1st thought of associating it with militaria has its ground. Will do further googling. Again thanks Chris.
with further research i found this which answers part of my queries;
Combat boots have developed over the years, influenced by the perceived need at the time. Pre-Vietnam, they were all leather with thick soles. However, experiences in the tropics saw the development of a lighter weight boot with a canvas upper, allowing the boot to breath and dry out quicker. The modern boot could be called a hybrid.
Also for those interested in reading a boot research here's a link 'A REVIEW OF FOOTWEAR FOR COLD/WET SCENARIOS PART I: THE BOOT (U) by W. Dyck'

Can any leather experts give me an opinion on diamond Dave's stuff? I really like the style of his buco and at 900 with nice-looking horsehide it seems like a damn good deal. Comparable jackets from flat head/Himel are twice that or a little less… Are they really on different levels?
