This is a pair of Mongol men's boots from the early 20th Century. They have distinctive pointed toes, and are decorated with green clouds and eternal knot motifs in green on the uppers and around the heel. The boot is wide enough to be lined with leather or felt as well as possibly concealing a knife.
