Ankle boots. Nearly identical to the current issue parade boots. The WWII boots were normally pebbled with a smooth sole with hobnails. However, I've seen many reenactors use CF Parade Boots as they're cheap and readily avaliable, as for repro ankle boots, there's only one company making them and they cost a fortune. You can find parade boots at any surplus shop or even at value village for that matter. If you're serious about putting a realistic kit togeather, look for a book called 'From D-Day to VE-Day, The Canadian Soldier, 1944-45' by Jean Bouchery. It'll tell you all you need to know about the Canadian Soldier in WWII and then some.
