A California shoemaker has recalled a pair of its “Polar Fox” combat boots on complaints that their treads leave swastika prints.

One rattled customer remarked that “there was an angle I didn’t get to see when ordering my new work boots,” posting a photo this week of the soles — along with the symbols of race hate they’d stamped on the ground.

A ruckus ensued on Reddit. Among the one-liners:

“These boots were good, but not great. They’re just altright.”

“Shoelaces came tied in little knotsies.”

“I love them too, they really put me in mein kampfort zone.”

“I bought these to compete in The Master Race.”

Elsewhere, on Amazon, a flurry of snarky reviews trickled in before the listing was taken down this week:

“I have used them for my Third Heich.”

“Color matches my panzer 10/10.”

“Ordered Das Boot in size nein! Did not fit! So infuhrerating!”

Conal International Trading, the Los Angeles-area maker of the lace-up boots, scrambled to apologize this week, insisting that the Nazi-inflected design was “in no way intentional.”

“It was an obvious mistake made by our manufacturers in China,” the company pleaded in a Thursday statement. “We never intended to have any swastikas design on our shoes. We are recalling all shoes immediately. We will not be selling any of our boots with the misprint to anyone. We would never create a design to promote hate. We don’t promote hate at our company.”

Some weren’t convinced about the “obvious mistake” part — including a neo-Nazi website called the Daily Stormer, which called the boots a “must have,” and “perfect footwear for Nazis.”

“I sincerely don’t believe this was an accident,” a writer on the racist blog wrote. “You’d have to know what mark that pattern would leave.”

Some noted that “Polar Fox” was the code name for a World War II military campaign in which German and Finnish soldiers captured Salla, Finland, from the Soviet Union.
