Not really a shooman - but when you have shit feet problems you tend to shop around a bit and what with being sharp dude when I was young - y'know. (I found my first pair of suede 'lastic sided cuban heel boost from the 60's in the shed - and my two pairs of RMs cuban heels - plus my Rossie Shearers Boots - and my Bogan Reeboks -mocs - slipped my mocs on now)

I'm off to podiatrist tomorrow.

I haven't noticed Mountfords improving much at all lately - although for casual knock around stuff they are pretty good.

Check these out shooey-

Shearer's boots are stereotypically Australian and conjure up images from famous paintings such as Tom Robert's "Shearing the Rams". Shearer's boots are distinguished by a leather flap at the front to prevent wool clippings getting inside the boot and grease-resistant, non-slip soles.

These particular boots belong to a larger collection of shoes and printed and handwritten material from the Enoch Taylor & Co shoe archive. Enoch Taylor & Co was a shoe and boot manufacturing and distribution company founded in 1851 by Enoch Taylor in Port Phillip, Melbourne and from 1926 - 2004, the company was continuously managed by the Lee family. Today, the company continues to operate but under different management with all of its production taking place off-shore in Suva, Fiji.

Enoch Taylor & Co is best known for their "no squeeze fit" and specialty production of heavy duty footwear, including the 'T Boot'. The production of shearer's boots, such as these, ended in the late 1960s when the company's focus shifted into producing exclusively industrial footwear.
