I'm not a shoe expert. I leave that to my wife. I am a bit of a weight lifting fan and its history. Checkout info and photos of legendary strongman Louis Cyr. He wore very similar boots as did Eugen Sandow.

Do you suppose the cut outs would allow better flexibility or what do you think?

Mike,

Your pictures remind me of a card that I have had for a long time... I think it has the alphabet sign language on the back... I will have to check.

Cool boots!
