Actually, something very similar to a lace up ankle boot (roper, but a touch lower on the leg) shows up in a surprising number of 19th and early 20th century photos of highlanders. There's a photo of an old boy, in the "Show us your Pic's" thread on old photos, wearing a natty pair of black ankle boots.

I've been toying with idea of making a pair for myself.
