As a little bonus, because I feel so fragile today and have more spare time than I need.
Here is a pair of vintage Goldtop boots I bought last week.
I have to say I am not a fan of the usual Goldtop boots, to my mind they look a little bit like Jackboots, I just don't like that style
Anyway, I spotted these on eBay last week and they are more the style I was looking for.
Again, I am unsure of how old they are, but probably the late eighties. The label is the original Styled by Godfrey's label.
These were unworn, although they weren't in the original box.
They have a Vibram sole, the interior lining is Cambrelle and I assume it has a Aquatex membrane.
The oversized tongue is attached to the shaft and the lining is one piece, so although it is a lace up boot it is sealed against water at the front more like a contemporary motorcycle boot. Also it would appear the whole upper has been sealed to the sole to keep water out.
forgive me if am not using the correct terminology for different boot parts.
anyway I will let the pictures tell the story.
