Just an FYI: There are a few pairs of brown Italian jump boots (stivale paracadutisti or stivale anfibi) on eBay.it for about 40€.
These are basically direct clones of the French Mle. 50 jump boot. Difference include a slightly altered tread pattern, what appears to be smooth-finished leather, and the vamp is little bit shorter than the French model. Still, it's a very close match, and as close as we're going to get the Mle. 50's, which are rare anywhere one goes. I took a chance on a pair and will report back with an appraisal of their suitability. The smooth-finish leather can be altered by a light sanding, if need be.
