F for Forgotten Footwear
Boots, left behind by a performer at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. We were there as part of a ‘Photo walk’ group and had a pre-arranged tour of the building that included areas above, below and around the auditorium. The only place out of bounds to us was the stage as a group were rehearsing for an evening show.

F for Fascinating Find?

WWW - We were told whose boots they were, but I have forgotten. Perhaps the name at the time meant nothing to me.
Nick - Nice idea, but I can think of more fascinating items to find than old boots.

Oh, it’s no matter who the boots belonged to. Probably just Roy Rogers or Gene Autry or some nobody like that!

I went out with my granddaughters last week and looked down at their feet to discover they were all booted. Amelia’s boots were nice and shiny, and Rita’s boots looked like a old cowpoke had worn them. Dianne

Nancy -
I like your style!
Dianne - I wear ankle boots with trousers for most of the year. They keep my feet warm.

Alas, my boot days are over. But I have a lovely pair of soft leather ones I bought in Texas–the land of boots and ten-gallon hats!–and I still love them. I’ve been thinking of inserting glass (or plastic) vases in them and using them for decoration. Perhaps they’d look good with the painting of “old friends.” Technically it’s not a good painting but it is colorful and I painted it because, well I LOVE old boots!

Alice - I have come across old work boots in a garden with a plant growing out of them. I imagine a plant pot is inserted in the open boot and then the plant grows to cover the opening. Maybe that would work indoors with a weight in the foot of the boot to steady them.
