That's a fantastic looking shoe but I don't think I'd be marching into battle with them on, I recall seeing some drawings of a Jacobite who was found in a bog and was quite well preserved and that's where the brogan type boot came from, I'll need to look for it as it had diagrams etc, some photos too.
I'd wear that shoe for a more dressier occasion, very nice.
