Absolutely excellent , what a great find. When I was a teenager in the 1960s there was a pub nearby which had a single boot much like your examples . It was in a glass case and was claimed to be that of a 17th century highwayman .... left in a hurry as he escaped the law ! Needless to say the name of the pub was 'The Boot' ... the pub was since refurbished and the boot has disappeared .
