What about actual surplus boots? 11 women is 9 men which is an easy size to find. Some places like Kommandostore have really nice euro surplus boots that come in batches. Some may need a resole at times but the uppers are very high quality leather.

They don’t seem to have any that’ll be her style and size as of right now but I will keep an eye on it as I do have some time. Thank you!

u/ZakaryLakota I just got an email that they're doing preorders for these for delivery soon: https://kommandostore.com/products/new-production-austrian-paratrooper-boots

I have no affiliation with that shop but have bought a bunch of Eastern European used combat boots from them in the past. All have been excellent. The ones in that link are new production though which is neat.

These are also in stock used and only in her size. They're a winter version though, so keep that in mind: https://kommandostore.com/collections/footwear/products/austrian-ranger-boot

There's also Jim Green boots for an African styled boot. I love their Vellies, though those are more of a chukka. Their AR8 may fit the bill for your fiance and they're Goodyear welted and really durable.

The AR8 looks absolutely perfect. To be honest thank you!
