Are you talking about "Camel Boots" here????  The suede leather ankle high
boots with the "spongy" bottoms that used to get real gunky after a
while????
Pete is sporting a pair in the picture of him on "coolwalkings" where he is
wearing the trench coat (I don't have the cd with me, so I may be wrong on
the exact picture).  Smashing pic. by the way.
My point here is, that I wear those shoes almost exclusively (when I'm not
in Birks or work shoes. I've unfortunately hung up my Army Boots.  Boy those
were great for slam dancing!)
***No better boot then the camel boot!!****  And, yes it was Pete's
influence that's had me in those since 1979!
