====== Shoes of the Boot Type ======

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, I often wore boots and other footwear that covered the ankle. But never the dressy sort (with elastic or zippers), mostly work boots, steel-toed or not, that lasted well. I bought a pair of cowboy boots when I was in college, but stopped wearing them well before they were worn out; now they are too stiff--and my feet too big?--to put them on. But I've kept them. I also have a pair of safety shoes I wore at work circa 1978-9, and a pair of warm boots I wear to shovel snow in the winter.

===== Cowboy boots =====

From the "Horse Laundry" on Los Feliz blvd. Size unknown, not visibly indicated. Also, it appears one of my dogs must have chewed on the rim of one of them.

Non-slip soles, possibly acid resistant (I worked in a food plant). Size not indicated.

===== Winter Work Boots =====

Pretty water-proof, with a furry lining in the sleeve. Size 43, a little too small to wear with really thick (hunter's) socks, 
though.
