Just for the heck of it, I copied this other photo of Patton wearing tall Cavalry boots. The OLD kind that civilian surveyors and explorers used to wear as well.

They lace all the way up in front with (believe it or not) a SINGLE shoe lace. They are time consuming to do so as I have a pair. But they are great boots for day long survey work (as I did on my land in Oregon) as they give EXCELLENT calf support and the legs do not tire as easily.
