Good question!
Part of it is that we're still transitioning to proper cavalry footgear so admittedly, this isn't the most accurate representation. For us, it should either be ankle boots or the 1915 Bavarian Universal pattern cavalry boot.
The other part is at the start of the war, boots were made of a light brown leather. Per official order, starting in 1915 leather items were to be blackened, something that was not always observed. Also, for me, I was portraying more of an NCO and often leather leggings were used.
You will also find that as the war progressed, the German Army wasn't quite as "uniform" as shortages developed (the Germans discarded nothing and constantly recycled). That's kind of the short answer. :-)

I've seen period photograph's of German troops wearing British style leg wraps. How common was that?
