As above, an option without hobnails would be good (as its not specified whether the toe-capless boots come with them or not). I do RFC re-enactment, and the RFC also went without hobnails as it would damage the fabric of the aircraft. However, they are excellent for my First World War infantry re-enactment. A word to the wise, take a week or two of wearing them everyday to break them in before doing a heavy re-enactment weekend or such. Much easier on the feet that way!

Great boots! Good fit with enough room for socks. They do need to be soaked to get the dye out as mentioned here. Good quality though!
