Interesting article concerning armed services footwear and rebuilding/recycling thereof. Note particularly short life between rebuilds in pacific theatre and range of sizes needed to be stocked by quartermaster.

I see lots of pics of ww2 vintage footwear with heels apparently visually similar if not identical to found heel.
