The Boots and braces on this
page were made for Mr Richards
who suffered from Polio.
He recently passed away and
his family donated to me all of the leg braces and boots that he had, all
together there are 13 pairs of boots and 5 leg braces,Some are new and
have never been worn they
span a 26 year period
and show constant modifictions as
Mr Richards got older.
Because of his conditon the
growth of his left foot was affected and is 2 sizes smaller than his right,
(sizes 8 and 6).

These
Boots are made in brown suede and are 20 years old they have been kept
boxed as they were used for best wear and are in exellent condition.
The
right boot of this pair has an internal raise of 1" presumably to allow
the right boot and brace to swing through when walking although a pair
the left boot has never been worn.

These boots are made in black
suede and were specially made for
Mr Richards for the special
occaison of his daughters wedding and so
I have been informed were his
very best pair they are in immaculate condition and the soles show hardly
any wear.
...
OLD and NEW
NOTE althought they were made
for the same person they are about 26 years apart
and you can see the new one
has no internal or other raise.
