I'm just having fun googling

Karmen

I spotted some "kind of but ..." similar looking boots and they were referred to as "SENTRY boots" Waffen style, but none were sheepskin lined. The ones you posted have a similar style to a few of the german styled military type boots. If they're german, I wonder how they made it to Ohio . They certainly look made for very cold weather and being outside in it for long periods of time ... and I'd still love a pair
