 SCP-809 is a heavily stained and worn pair of leather boots, designated SCP-809-1 and SCP-809-2, for the left and right boot respectively. Forensic analysis of the boots confirms that the stains are composed of clay-rich soil and human blood. The design of SCP-809 is consistent with those of the boots worn by French infantry in the last years of World War I. SCP-809 was discovered by Foundation personnel in the attic of an abandoned building in France. Investigation confirms that the building was used as a field hospital from 1915 to 1917. SCP-809 is activated by a subject donning both boots and closing his or her eyes for 5-10 seconds. Upon activation, subjects experience a vision from the point of view of a French corporal in battle.
