These boots are made for wal..., er, riding

Well Red had her most fabulous flea market find to date.

And no, they don't fit me, but she'll be riding in style.

If they don’t fit her.. they could make some good bookends around your Guzzi library.

I've been corrected.  She says it was a "high-end ladies' resale shop".

Still, what a crazy thing to randomly find.

Is there a makers name inside them?

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Sadly, there is not.  I can tell they're vintage. They're real heavy.  They may be 40 years old, or more.  They have an Ariat removeable insole in them, but I'm thinking the previous owner added those.
