Boots
Richard is partially correct, they are indeed Officer's boots. Officers purchased their clothing from tailors and suppliers of clothing and camp equipment but in the latter stages of the war Officer's clothing was manufactured by Ordnance for sale to Officers. These boots, which are high top and buckled were one of the Ordnance items manufactured for sale to Officers.
Also Officers and WO Is were authorized to wear brown boots. DR Boots were black.
