I previously wrote an uncorrect review, ''cause I''ve mistook them with a similar item from a whole another vendor -actually a Vietnam Repros retailer. I still do not believe they had cushion soles back in WWII, but anyway these are Really Appreciable. Yet a bit too tight at calves, they stood quite heavy tests on the field (I work in rough terrain, cold & rainy season) outstandingly. And You''re glad to put them on, ''cause pleasingly comfortable. Not least, they''re what it seems to me accurately Olive Drab. I''ve promptly doubled my order.

I hand judgment over to experts

I don't exactly know if these are meant for WWII reenactment, I've always assumed they were basically two types of socks: lightweight khakis & wool, grey or OD. I guess these are mostly suitable for Vietnam, anyway I use 'em for everyday work wear. I must say I do prefer the current GI surplus, these ones are a bit too flimsy to stand well usual perspiration, they're well made but not comfortable to me with boots. A remarkable detail: to my profane eyes, these look like correct OD versus nowadays OG, which should be a strike point in favor of reenactment's purpose. As they say, just my two cents..
