The original M-43 service shoe that serves as the model for these was issued in 1943, with the rivetless version starting in 1944. The basic specifications for this boot were very simple. Composition sole, welted construction, natural combination-tanned rough-out cowhide, all built up on the Munson last with an unstructured toe. The goal was to have a cost-effective, durable shoe for all forms of combat conditions. Multiple variants popped up across the armed forces, including version for the Marines and the Navy, all with the same basic template.

These are made from a gorgeous heavyweight dark brown waxed flesh cowhide leather, produced by the Horween Tannery in Chicago — a hardy and durable leather that develops an exceptional patina with wear. We've carried a handful of other waxed flesh other boots over the years, and it can't be beat for maintainability, comfort, and aging. Though it starts out stiff, the waxed finish makes the leather more resistant to the elements, additionally flattening the surface of the leather into a more smooth and shiny texture. Over time, the wax will wear down and scuff away, revealing the much lighter brown roughout texture of the leather, aging uniquely for each wearer.

As far as leather goes, it's thick and sturdy, starting out noticeably stiff and requiring a few weeks of good wear to really break-in. After that, the leather begins to relax considerably, moulding to take the shape of the wearer's foot and softening at flex points to move more easily.

John Lofgren set out to make the ultimate version of this boot from the very best components - from Mil-spec eyelets and speed hooks to the USA-made Vibram 705 soles and 700 heel. It's finished with a 360 degree Goodyear storm welt that can be rebuilt after wear by any trusted cobbler.

They are built around the same Munson last as used in the originals, which makes for a comfortable, supportive boot.

Holes in brackets are not spaced for studs!
Color: White, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 67"W x 6.5"D
So the quality of this not great, but good enough and they look nice enough on the wall. However, the bracket holes are not spaced at 16" intervals. WTF? I'm not sure who designed this thing. The molly plugs that came with it look OK, but to play it safe I used a cobalt steel drill bit and made my own holes in the bracket. Easy enough with some wd40. My other pick with this is that the screws to anchor the shelf to the bracket are black and and very obvious... they should have supplied some kind of cap.

Great floating display shelf
Color: Brown, Size: 55.1"W x 10.3"D x 1.8"H, Set of 1
Perfect display shelf for trinkets or memorabilia. Placed this over our wall mounted TV for our football collection. Looks great and was easy to mount. The size is perfect. Great value for the money.

Cute but one is broken

Update: they sent me new ones and they seem to be holding up, thank you! I really wanted to love these but one of them came bent so I can’t use it because I’m worried it’s going to ruin the wall. It’s slanted so far down but the one that didn’t come bent works great and looks really cute

Issues with mounting the shelves, big time
Color: Brown, Size: 55.1"W x 10.3"D x 1.8"H, Set of 2
I bought the 55 inches floating shelves. I have an area above my linen cabinet that I wanted to utilize for storage and books in my hall. I did my measuring, figured out spacing. Marked everything off to do 3 total shelves (bought two boxes). A couple of spots screwed into a stud, and the others I had to install the plastic mount things. I had used those before so I just did the predrill then tapped them in, finished off by screwing the mount flush with the wall. I grabbed the first bracket and decide to start with a screw that had one of the inset mount things (sorry the correct term is escaping me). It never once occurred to me to check that the plastic mount and screw would not work. We’ll surprise! I tried and tried to get the screw to screw thru the mount, the mount is the rigid plastic thoe that is supposed to split when the screw goes through. Well something wasn’t engineered properly on the mounts cuz they would not thread a screw. They would not split. I even went into my garage and tried different screws I had to see if maybe it was just too big…or something. Then I started just prying it apart and could not get it to split like it’s supposed to, the tip piece broke off before the piece split. I have never had this situation before. I now have a bunch of these, that leave huge holes in my wall, where I measured out for a shelf to go. I’m not a huge DIYer so now I’m trying to figure out if I can salvage this situation but I’m afraid that if I get different mounts they will be too small for the already created holes, or they will fit the hole but because it’s screwing into dry wall, the drywall already has threads from the other mount, will it strip if the threads aren’t 100% the same. Oooooor am I going to have to patch up and paint that wall, then buy new mounts and attempt to try again….which I will now have to set the shelves at a different height so I don’t screw into the same holes I patched since I don’t trust them…..ugh. I practically want to cry. lol. So if I could give this negative stars I would! I feel stupid due to these having such great reviews by others. Comments of how easy they were to install. I will also mention that a few others mentioned the metal bracket that is mounted to the wall then the shelf slide onto is very flimsy. I could bend it side to side with my hands. The only reason I decided it would be ok is that there are a total of 8 screws in the mount, figured it would be stable enough.
