Jodhpur Boot
The Jodhpur boot is an ankle boot or Chelsea boot designed as a riding boot with a rounded toe and a low heel. They originally fastened with a strap and buckle, but today the term also includes designs with straps that do not wrap entirely around the ankle and the elastic-sided design without a strap also known as Chelsea boots. A closely related riding boot design is called a paddock boot, particularly if modified to have a lace-up front. It is named after Jodhpur, the second-largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. History Jodhpur boots originated in India in the 1920s, and were first worn by local polo riders. The wearing of Jodhpurs soon became a trend in the Western world, and Saks Fifth Avenue began selling them in as early as 1927. A ''Vogue'' article in that year, titled "A Habit for Informal Cross-Saddle Dressing", wrote that Jodhpur boots were "correct in every detail for summer shows" and meant to be complemented with a swagger stick and canary string gloves. ...
