Tanker Boots

Gift of Carl Corbin, 2000.091.001

US Army tanker's boots worn by Major Carl Corbin while serving in Europe with the 7th Armored Division. Major Corbin wore these tanker's boots during the Battle of the Bulge. The boots were a private purchase, not an issue item. The leather straps allowed the boots to have a loose fit, which were soothing to feet swollen from long periods inside of a tank.
