History of the Jump Boot Solid Footing for Soft Landings Lieutenant General William P. Yarborough developed the 'Paratrooper Boot' in 1941 for the 501st Parachute Test Battalion (now the 501st Infantry Regiment). It would soon find its way throughout the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. It would make its combat debut on D-Day, worn by all 13,100 Paratroopers for their drop into Normandy. The boot featured a structured toe with cap and a rigid outsole, and an upper with additional ankle support—all to help facilitate soft landings. Crafted primarily by the Corcoran Boot Company and issued only to Paratroopers, these boots quickly became a mark of prestige—and given their high-quality, they were authorized to be worn with Paratroopers’ dress uniforms.
A Jump Boot without a Cap Toe? The 1941 Paratrooper Boot had a toe cap, not for appearance, but for rigidity. Our Lakeshore Jump Boot features a structured toe box, a layer of calfskin lining, and far heavier and tougher leather than the original. This allows us to remain true to the functional requirements of the Jump Boot in a silhouette reminiscent of a traditional war-era service boot.
