Quote:What's the purpose of the 'flaps' on the upper part of the boot?
Protection for the horseman's calf and knee and for the horses side.
Especially when ridng bareback.
The "heavy cold versionaccording to my friend George Iliopoulos for protection of the exposed knee from the harse Thracian or other cold.
Most people though think decoration. All is plausible in my opinion.
Johhny, Boreas with Beotian boots

The earlier Berthiere engraving 1868 showed mokasinlike decoration.
The original is on the Orologion of Andronikos Philopapou hill athens
