Jodhpur boot

[1] The wearing of Jodhpurs soon became a trend in the Western world, and Saks Fifth Avenue began selling them in as early as 1927.

A Vogue article in that year, titled "A Habit for Informal Cross-Saddle Dressing", wrote that Jodhpur boots were "correct in every detail for summer shows" and meant to be complemented with a swagger stick and canary string gloves.

(A monk strap boot also fastens with a buckle, but the quarters are sewn on top of the vamp.)

The buckle end is attached to the inboard side and extends halfway around the ankle, counterclockwise on the right boot.

The free end is attached to the outboard side and extends entirely around the ankle, clockwise on the right boot.
