In the old days my family was very into the 16-inch Russell Ike Waltons.

There was an old pair or two around the house, but everybody was wearing 8 to 10-inch boots by the time I started hunting. I found a good condition pair of Ike Waltons in my size at St Vincents and wore them a few times but that was a lot of lacing!!
