Just shoes.

Yes, they are simple, sturdy, leather boots. Everyone had something like that. A symbol of reliability and brute strength. Nothing happens to it and nothing will happen in your lifetime.
It doesn't burn in fire or sink in water. I think these boots can withstand even a direct hit from a nuclear bomb.
And of course the story, as always, is everyone's own. The associations are also individual. 
These boots are as charismatic as a super car. That's what Pop Art is all about.
And rightly so.
I can send a picture on a roll, (only the canvas) or the whole, stretched on a wooden stretcher.
If interested, please ask.
