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.

boots look really good considering they are 100 years old

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

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

what if they belonged to an SF'er?

what if they belonged to an SF'er?

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

1.) bespoke; and/or

2.) RTW; and/or

3.) thrifted.

This is not the Metta Catharine.

If boots belonged to first class passenger, then they're John Lobbs.
If boots belonged to steerage passenger, then they're Payless Shoe Source.

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.
