German Officers Riding Boots with adjustment strap,Aristocratic German Officers would have thought themselves very dashing in these boots, probably privately purchased, these riding boots have a strap attached. This was designed so that the top opening of the boot would be wider and therefore easier to put on than the standard narrow opening riding boot. The strap could then be used to tighten the top opening to give a tighter, snug fit around the calf.
