Part description

Richard's boots were bought in Melbourne, Australia. He describes them as 'Australian outback boots'. They had a mud proof flap which buckled over the laces. Richard explains that they took a long time to put on, with laces, flap and buckles. They were only included as a last minute decision when Richard realised he would need footwear over which he could later fasten dusters. Richard describes the boots as "strange and long gone".
