Summary
A very badly worn grey leather child's boot. It has seventeen metal eyelets (one eyelet, i.e., the 18th is missing). The leather tongue is also missing. There is a hole cut out of one side of the boot. The stitching between the ankle and toe sections has failed and the two sections are separating. The sole and heel are filled with rough nails and holes for nails.
