John Lobb Boots on the Titanic?

post #1 of 8

This story on the web shows well-preserved boots at the site of the Titanic:

With all due respect to the deceased, I can't help but wonder if they are John Lobbs.

If boots belonged to first class passenger, then they're John Lobbs.

If boots belonged to steerage passenger, then they're Payless Shoe Source.

If they belonged to an SFer, then it means the boots could be:

1.) bespoke; and/or

2.) RTW; and/or

3.) thrifted.

Odds would be good that they belonged to either a Third Class passenger or a crew member, both of which make up the tremendous majority of casualties.

Not interested unless someone cuts those boots up and manages to make thousands of wallets out of them.
