The Philopapou Monument with the depictions of the Wind Gods in Athens.
Now they do not look very clear but the engarvings of the 19th to early 20th century gentlemen travellers show hard soles and heels.
Also tall boots with flaps are classed as "Thrakian" while shorter laced boots with "mocasine" decoration are refered to as "Beotian".
Some friends of mine refer to the boots of the heralds in Attic potery as "Attic" boots.
Kind regards
P.S. A VERY BIG THANKS to DAN_Z who "infected" me with the desire to have a pair :!:
