The 70+ year old box is in very good original condition with a picture of the Roth factory on top. The end of the box shows that Roth called these boots HJ-DJ Schnuerstiefel or "Hitlerjugend-Deutsche Jungvolk lace-up boots". The label on the end shows that the boots are catalog number 457 in size 35, they are black and the soles are assembled with wooden pegs.
This is a fine pair of unused, New-Old-Stock HJ (Hitler Youth) boots of the type worn with his uniform by every Hitler Youth boy that could afford them. The black high top HJ-DJ Schnürstiefel in size 35 (US size 3) have soles that measure 9-¾ inches (24.6 cm) from the tip of the toe to the end of the heel. The soles are 3-5/8 inches wide (9.3 cm) and the boots are 6 inches (15 cm) tall.
This matched pair of Hitler Youth boots is in spectacular original condition; they have never been used, polished or laced up and they come with the original shoe box in which they were packed during the Third Reich by the company Roth-Schuh.
Online we found that the Kaspar Roth company in Altenburg produced leather equipment, belts and ammunition pouches on military contracts and these RZM marked HJ shoes were probably their item number 457.

Each boot has four sets of eyelets and four sets of hooks for the laces. The eyelets and hooks are black enameled on the outside, and three of the eyelets on the outside of the left boot have lost most of their original paint. This could easily be fixed, but due to the exceptionally fine condition of these boots we chose not to alter them in any way. There is a finger loop on the back for pulling the shoes on.
There is a RZM logo stamped in ink on the sole of each boot but we are unable to read the two lines of type stamped just below the RZM logo. Between the RZM logo and the heel of each boot the number 35-457C is stamped into the soles.
Inside, the shoes are lined with material printed with a pattern containing the words Deutsche Wertarbeit Imprägniert which means "German High Quality Workmanship - Waterproofed". The inside of the top of each shoe is also marked with the size 35-3 and the number 210.
They truly are beautifully made, genuine Nazi era leather high-tops. To a museum or to an advanced collector of Hitler Youth uniforms 70+ years later, this pair of boots would be priceless. They are in fine unused condition, and the only defect we can find is the paint loss on the three eyelets of the left boot, mentioned above.
