These original German Navy deck shoes are genuine military surplus boots built for reliable shipboard and outdoor wear.
German Navy Heritage
Designed for the German Federal Navy (Bundesmarine), these boots were originally issued to shipboard crews. They are officially designated as Bordschuhe, engineered for hot machinery rooms. Sourced in lightly used Grade 1 condition, they offer a unique historical look and unmatched durability that sets them apart from standard civilian footwear.
Materials & Construction
These boots feature a rugged black leather chassis combined with tough canvas side panels to reduce weight and allow heat to escape. Three drainage eyelets on the inner arch let water run out and allow air to circulate. The design utilizes premium German Stocko hardware for the eyelets and speed-lacing system, ensuring long-term utility in harsh, salty conditions.
Outsole & Grip
The vulcanized rubber sole features a specialized tread pattern with a stable 3cm heel. Stamped with 'Öl- und Benzinfest' and 'Antistatisch', the sole provides a firm footing on wet, oil-slicked surfaces. This extreme slip-resistance makes these boots highly functional today for outdoor activities like bushcraft, hiking, or working on slick surfaces.
Add these rugged German Navy deck boots to your outdoor kit for dependable traction and breathable wear.
This item was used by the German Navy during the Late Cold War (1961–1991) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.
Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
