WWII 1940s-Inspired Leather Military Boots
Introducing Robbie, an authentic WWII 1940s-inspired leather lace-up boot. These sturdy, casual boots are crafted from full-grain structured leather and feature a rounded toe cap, a slim-fitting shaft, eight pairs of metal eyelets for the laces, and durable rubber outsoles.
The 1,2 in wooden heel is topped with a rubber sole for added durability. Inside, the boots are equipped with a leather insole and soft, padded silicone inserts for enhanced breathability and comfort.
Sturdy military boots like these have become timeless classics. They pair effortlessly with jeans, skirts and wide trousers for a casual look, while their authentic design makes them ideal for period costumes.
Originally designed as a men’s boot, but we’ve now made this model available for all genders.

Which size is best for me? I recommend following the size chart located under the "Choose Size" box.
Wide or Regular - Which width to choose if both are available? Wide styles are two sizes up in width compared to the regular size. I recommend choosing wide shoes if you usually buy wide-style shoes. My wide styles are an EEE size.
Try at home is my concept. I want you to be happy with your new memery shoe.
Exchange: Should you wish to exchange to another size, please use my Return Center for easy return and to get FREE return label.
Refund: If you wish to do a refund - No worries, I have a money-back guarantee if you want to return your order. Return the shoes through my Return Center, and I will do a refund.
Memery is a shoe brand that produces vintage-style shoes and knitwear inspired by the Edwardian era, the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, in contemporary sizes and with great comfort. Original vintage shoes are often worn out, narrow, and uncomfortable.
Memery shoes have the same elegant designs and details as original vintage shoes (very important to me). Still, at the same time, they are due to the soft soles and breathable materials very comfortable. In addition, memery has a wide range of sizes to suit everyone. - So, for you who love vintage shoes, memery is an excellent choice. The shoes are also a good choice if you are looking for feminine, classic, plain shoes. The shoes are great for all fashions, styles, everyday wear, weddings and party dresses.
🇬🇧 All orders will be shipped from my UK Warehouse.
Feel free to ask me any questions.

I have wide feet hence I'm always worried about a good fit. While these were quite uncomfortable the first day I wore them out, a week later and these are my current go to boots; I laced them a little different to allow a tadge more movement over the bump on my foot. Have had lots of compliments as this design is quite unique. The brown goes well with all my colors, but will have to consider the black now. I prefer this more rounded toe compared to the other Edwardian shows sold by Memery which I think I'd find too narrow.
we're extremely pleased to hear you're loving the Robbie boots! It's great that you've found a way to customize the fit for your comfort. Thanks for sharing your experience and for the compliments on the design. 💕 Mette

Gorgeous Shoes as always! They feel sturdier than other shoes which I think stems from the leather. I haven't worn them yet because of the heat wave, but the try-on was isntantly comfy! Can't wait for colder weather!
Hi Jana, we're so happy to hear you love the boots! Thanks for sharing your kind words! We hope you will enjoy your boots when the cold weather arrives.

Comfortable, good fit, easy exchange for correct size. Match well with my 1940s wardrobe ;)
My boots just arrived, they are absolutely wonderful, can't wait for winter. The same soft leather as the ski boots, lovely leather lining, sturdy soles. Such good quality and as always beautifully packaged. My usual size fit like gloves, you could be forgiven to think they are made to measure. Heatwave or not I might have to wear them tomorrow!
Beautiful and soft leather shoes. Just a little bit difficult to put on and off and the toe cap is slightly tight. Might need to stretch them before wearing them for 8h straight.
Hi Christine. Thank you for your review on our Robbie boots. We've chosen not to add zippers to our boots for the most authentic design, but we promise in time it will become easier top lace them on and off. Our boots are made of leather, so they're supposed to have a more snug fit, as in time they will expand a bit and soften up.

I am happy with these boots. I bought them to replace a modern-style boot which was cute but not very comfortable. The leather is soft and appears to be of very good quality. The boot is a nice style that is good for casual everyday wear. It seems to be waterproof as I've stepped into puddles without water getting in. It is comfortable to walk in. There is lots of room around the toes and it does not rub as so many do. I would have liked to review it after walking a longer distance in it, but I do feel it will continue to be comfortable even then. You do feel the heel, but it's not high so it's not much. You have to loosen and tighten the laces to remove and put them on. There is not a deep tread on the soles. Although the description says it runs small, I feel it runs large. I would have liked to try a size down. But it's good if I want to wear it with thick socks. Overall I am happy with this purchase and hope they last a long time.
Hi Susanna.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Robbie Boots. We are glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase and that the boots are comfortable and of good quality.
For the best fit, we recommned measuring your feet accoridng to the size guide. You're also always more than welcome to write to our customer service, if you have any questions regarding sizing, we'll be happy to help you. Best Ditte
and excellent customer service. Soft leather except for the toe cap so pressure/pain after 8 hours wear.
Shoe trees (sv. skoblock) might hopefully help to adjust that faster than daily wear.
Hi Anja. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Robbie Boots. We're happy to hear that you find them stylish and comfortable. They have structured toe caps for more sturdyness, but we don't usually hear they put pressure on the toes. In time they will soften up and take shape after your feet, or you can do as you do and block the out a bit. You're always welcome to wrtie to our customer service if you have any questions regarding the fit of the boots. Best Ditte

I’ve been trying to find a shoe that fits both my aesthetic and my awkwardly shaped feet. So far I’ve purchased/tried around 2,000$ worth of shoes from high-end brands that are crushingly uncomfortable and do not fit the high arches of my foot. So to say my hopes and expectations for these were non existent. First impressions were cute and soft, but when I put them on for the first time I noticed you slightly feel the stitching in the heal, already disappointed but once you lace them up and walk around they are perfect and so comfortable you don’t even notice the stitching not to mention the perfect witchy vibe I’m going for, I’ll be purchasing more from this brand. 10/10. I’ll need a notification if these ever become discontinued so I can purchase the lot!
Hi Bea-
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that our Robbie boots were a pleasant surprise and a perfect fit for your style and feet. Best Ditte
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so glad to hear that you are loving your new Robbie military boots. Best Ditte
My order came very quick to Germany after I hesitated for a while. The only thing I regret is not buying them sooner. These are by far the most comfiest shoes I have ever owned. They’re crafted very well and the leather is incredibly soft. I hope they will last me a long time. It was definitely worth the money.
Hi Jacqueline. How great that you find the Robbie boots incredibly comfortable and well-crafted. We hope these boots will serve you well for a long time, it's never too late to treat yourself to a great pair of boots! Bets Ditte
These are my second part of shoes from memery and I can’t decide which ones I like more. Even though I wear 1900-1918 most days these still go with my outfits. Perfect for winter, comfortable and arrived in 2 days(I live in England). Thank you will be buying from this shop again
Hi Niamh. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your Robbie Boots and that they go well with your outfits. We are also glad to hear that they are comfortable and arrived quickly for you. Best Ditte
Living in subtropical Australia, boots only come out on the really wet raining days or occasional cold snaps. I had spent a good year or so researching and seeking a pair of boots to fit all my criteria:
-High quality leather
-Rubber soles (for the wet and I don't like the clipity clop of wooden soles)
-Lace up
-Low heel/Flat
-Vintage inspired which work well in casual and also with dresses and skirts for the winter
I ordered as per the size chart and they fit perfectly - I wear them with handknitted socks. Only the first wear the upper leg was a little stiff when walking (but could also be because I was used to ankle boots before), and they are super comfortable, stable and can confidently hop through the streets in the rain knowing I won't slip and that my feet will stay dry. So happy with this purchase and the high quality of the shoe.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're thrilled to hear that our 1940s Women's Military Boots met all of your criteria and have been a great addition to your shoe collection. We appreciate your support and are glad to know that they are comfortable, stable, and perfect for rainy days. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope you continue to enjoy them! Happy wearing! :)Best Mette
I ordered two boots here, these military boots and edwardian walking boots. And I have to say I have never seen soft leather like this in a boot! It is like butter. I have super sensitive feet and I was really concerned that I would get blisters by just trying the boots on but they were so comfortable, that I didn't want to take them off at all. The boot is cut a little wider and more casual than the edwardian walking boot, perfect for everyday Outfits! And I am sure they will last for quite some time!! For me it is a 12/10, I can definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our 1940s Women's Military Boots!

I really love my new boots! I’ve worn them with dresses, trousers and jeans, to the shop and to my office job - they fit in everywhere. I did change the laces just because I wasn’t super in to the chunky ones. Thank you!
Hi Victoria. Thank you so much for leaving such a positive review on our Robbie boots, we're happy to hear that you find them so comfy and versatile for any occasion. And thank you for the lovely pictures. Best Ditte
This was my first purchase from Memery. Boots are a good fit, I would say true to size, comfortable, been wearing them for a week everyday now and I don't have any problems. And, as I suspect they're only going to get better as the leather conforms to my feet. So, very happy with the purchase!
So happy to hear you are satisfied with your new Robbie boots! Thank you for th ekind review, we truely appreciate it. Best Ditte
I am beyond smitten with these boots.I have problem feet -- ex ballet dancer feet -- that are very particular. I added these boots to my order on a whim, meaning to having them to wear around town, not expecting them to be as comfortable as they are. When the weather for our trip to Germany (we live in California) looked like it would be mild I decided to bring them so as to have something other than snow boots to wear for dinners and such. I have worn them basically the whole trip. They are astonishingly comfortable, decidedly so for 5-6 miles of walking, and tolerable up until about 7, and this with my problem feet. Truly amazing. They also required very little breakin time. I have been wearing them with more modern clothing (see picture), but these will also be very cute with vintage styles. As for sizing, I am pretty much always a US size 6, and a European size 36. These are roomier than most size 36 in the toe box, but the arch and everything else is in the right place -- this might be why they are so comfortable. This is my first pair of Memery shoes and absolutely won't be my last.
Thank you for your very kind review of our Robbie boots, and for sharing your story with us! We're so pleased to hear you found them comfortbale from the very first try, and that you wore them for your entire trip in Germany. Thank you for th elovely photo, it's so lovely to see our boots both styled i vintage and contemporary clothes! We'll be happy to have you as a returning customer. Best Ditte
The Robbie boots are a great addition to the Memery lineup! These will work great for WWII Auxiliary Territorial Service impressions, which up to now have had very few options for appropriate boots to wear with the battledress uniform. (I included a photo of the boot paired with reproduction ATS gaiters from Graham the Leather Guy)
I have very wide feet with bunions and wasn't sure if these regular-width boots would work for me, but after emailing with Mette, I went ahead and ordered these, and they fit great! As with most of Memery's styles, they run a little bit long, so you may want to size down if you are normally a half-size.
Thanks, Mette!
Hi Laura.
Thank you very much for the kind words and the lovely pictures of you in our Robbie boots. We're sure they will be perfect for your WWII reenactment. We're very glad to hear you were happy with our customer service and size guidening. We alsways recommend you use our measuement guide on our size chart when chozing size, as all feet are different.
Happy walking! Best Ditte
Bestilte Ruth støvlerne. De sidder SÅ godt på min fod. Troede at de måske ville være lidt ubehagelige, men de sidder bedre og mere komfortabelt end mange af mine moderne sko. Er super lykkelig over støvlerne, de er smukke, klassiske og unikker. Kan VARMT anbefales! <3
Hej Thea.
Tusind tak for de fine ord om vores Ruth støvler. Vi er så glade for at høre at de passer perfekt og hvor glad du er for dem.
