Jump boots are a type of combat boot designed for paratroopers featuring calf-length lacing and rigid toe caps. The style was developed in many countries simultaneously with the adoption of airborne infantry forces during World War II. Modern jump boots are earned in some countries and therefore have become a mark of achievement and distinction, mainly worn as dress and parade boots. The uppers are generally made of smooth black leather with toe-caps and heel counters that accept a high polish ("spit-shine" or "spittle-shine"). It is also a paratrooper tradition to lace jump boots in a ladder or cobweb style which increases ankle support during a parachute jump.

  • Springerstiefel (englisch Jump boots) bezeichnet das geschnürte Schuhwerk der Fallschirmjäger und die beim Fallschirmsport genutzten Stiefel. Umgangssprachlich wird der Begriff auch für die heute an alle Teilstreitkräfte ausgegebenen geschnürten Kampfstiefel verwendet, da der erst ab 1972 als Ersatz für die Knobelbecher bei der Bundeswehr eingeführte Kampfstiefel als eines seiner Vorbilder den bereits vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entwickelten deutschen Springerstiefel hatte und deutliche Ähnlichkeiten erkennbar waren.

  • Springerstiefel (englisch Jump boots) bezeichnet das geschnürte Schuhwerk der Fallschirmjäger und die beim Fallschirmsport genutzten Stiefel. Umgangssprachlich wird der Begriff auch für die heute an alle Teilstreitkräfte ausgegebenen geschnürten Kampfstiefel verwendet, da der erst ab 1972 als Ersatz für die Knobelbecher bei der Bundeswehr eingeführte Kampfstiefel als eines seiner Vorbilder den bereits vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entwickelten deutschen Springerstiefel hatte und deutliche Ähnlichkeiten erkennbar waren. Einige urbane Szene- und Subkulturen, die echte oder imitierte Kampfstiefel tragen, sind Skinheads, Punks, Goths und Metalheads. Wegen der Verwendung robuster Materialien ähneln Springerstiefel den Sicherheitsschuhen, sind jedoch in den meisten Klassen nicht als solche zugelassen. (de)
