A Question about boots...


Recommended Posts

"Bucket Boots" are GAoP period correct....as long as your near a horse that is.....and they were MADE to be pulled up and over your knee(scrawny or not)...and then fold down...into the bucket....for ease in walking when not mounted...often is quite the fashion statement to have them folded down round the ancles.....

In the old days, as a "fashion statement" they were generally worn folded down to the ankle, and then reversed and folded back up, so as to form an open "bucket" appearance. Hence the term "bucket boots". Not like the way most people are wearing them today just folded down, which to me just doesn't look right. Take a look at some of the old paintings and illustrations for reference.
