Re: [petetownshend] Re: Pete's shoes



I'm not all that sure what Pete's wearing on his feet these days, but
he did not always wear Dr. Martens. For a while in england anyway, Pete
used to wear a fairly non-descript boot which only just went above the
ankles which most people used to call 'a monkey boot'. This can be seen
and is featured on an official Track records publicity poster (B+W)
which was printed sometime around 1971/72. The Monkey boot can be seen
clearly as Pete is sitting and keith sits on John's lap while Roger
stands. I used to have a pair back then. I've almost forgotten what they
look like , but there used to be a bit of yellow in them . It was kind
of unfashionable at the time to wear such an item as they were regarded
as unfashionable and everyone was wearing Doc martens,in fact some kids
at school would laugh when I wore em'! However,they were cheap and
fairly comfortable and My hero wore em'!
Regards,
Derick.
p.s. I think Pete nowadays wears Nike Shoes and has for some time.
WRA Video from 1982 indicates that and Tommy 89 video also.
