Our former editorial assistant, the lovely Ms. Laura Puckett, returned from her Fulbright-funded year in Mongolia recently. Yesterday she stopped by the office to show off these boots, a traditional Mongol variety often worn, she said, to horse races and such. Of course, the soles are made of leather, and so young Laura must have rubber added before she can wear them. (I suggested Fast Eddie’s Shoe Repair, in Dinkytown.) Also, it’s worth noting that the curled toebox reflects a tradition of respecting the earth; it doesn’t leave such an aggressive footprint, in any case.
