HH Brown Shoe co. Jump Boots

Up for sale is an authentic pair of HH Brown Shoe Co. Jump Boots, a classic example of U.S. paratrooper footwear from the mid-20th century. These boots were modeled after the iconic airborne “Corcoran” style and were produced by HH Brown, a well-regarded military contractor supplying high-quality leather boots to American servicemen.

Constructed from durable brown leather, these jump boots feature the tall lace-up design with reinforced ankle support that was essential for paratroopers during airborne operations. The uppers show honest wear and patina from age, reflecting their history and field use. The toe caps and soles remain intact, offering a glimpse into the rugged build that made these boots suitable for the demanding conditions of training and combat. Original leather laces accompany the boots, and the riveted eyelets and reinforced stitching highlight the craftsmanship of HH Brown during wartime production.

These boots stand out not only as functional gear but also as a symbol of airborne service and distinction. Paratroopers were considered elite troops, and their unique jump boots became an instantly recognizable part of their identity. Collectors of U.S. militaria, especially airborne gear, will recognize the value of a genuine HH Brown pair, as they are less commonly encountered compared to Corcoran-made examples.

This pair remains in solid, display-worthy condition, making them ideal for collectors of WWII and Korean War-era footwear, airborne equipment, or U.S. Army uniforms. Whether displayed alongside uniforms and gear or preserved as a standalone artifact, they represent both the rugged practicality and the historic prestige of America’s airborne forces.
