For your consideration, I present this Authentic WWII German Wehrmacht Infantry Footwear Set – Field-Worn s*cks & Factory Fusslappen (Foot Wraps)
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, 100% original combat-used footwear set issued to a German Wehrmacht soldier during World War II. This set includes one pair of standard-issue heavy wool s*cks and two factory-producedFußlappen (foot wraps).
Items like these were treated as disposable utilities and worn to absolute destruction, making surviving field-used examples highly sought after by WWII military historians and advanced textile collectors.
Item 1: Wehrmacht Issue Wool s*cks (Socken)
• Features: Includes the iconic• white size-marking indicator rings knitted into the top of the ribbed cuffs—a standard Wehrmacht system used by quartermasters for rapid sorting.
• Field Repairs: This pair features extensive period field repairs, with different colored yarn and woven wool patches crudely darned into the toes, heels, and ankles. This is an incredible• testament to the harsh front-line resource constraints and battle-worn conditions.
• Length: Measures approximately 50 cm (20 inches) from cuff to toe, matching original regulatory specifications.
Item 2: Factory Foot Wraps (Fußlappen)
• Features: A pair of authentic, rectangular knit-woven foot• wraps with finished factory edges. One is dyed standard field-grey/olive, and the other is a dark charcoal/black variant. Both show significant combat wear, fraying, and period dry-use holes.
