| Full description: |
A red-brown leather boot, treated with whale oil to prevent the leather freezing. The boot is made completely of leather, with natural fibre stitching, and is unlined. The piece of leather forming the outer sole extends over the sides of the boot. There is a leather loop on either side on the top of the foot below the ankle; a wide leather thong is tied to one of the loops and would be wrapped around the ankle and tied to hold the boot in place.
