Yikes! I had a (considerably less dramatic) experience lately. I was on a very soggy camp in Wales, and I got up to answer a call of nature. I put my boots on.Squish. I then realised I had forgotten to check for slugs. Yuck. Not the nicest thing I've trodden on.
A mummified frog was my only real interesting find, had spiders etc, I went to put on a pair of wellingtons id not had used for ages felt this weird thing in there emptied them out and this dried up frog fell out. I can only assume it got in there some how couldn't get out and because they had not been used for a long time it had dried up.
I agree we should all check our boots.,,,and if we find ourselves wearing pointy toes with high heels like those.....
Not just your boots. This was in Guyana 2004. My hat was hung inside the mosy net
Now I only use zipped nets

Oddly enough, the ones pictured are (relatively) square toed and short heeled.
True riding boots have higher heels and pointier toes.

That looks deadlier than the Garter Snake TBH.

I've seen boots like those. The gut wearing them was turning tricks outside the Blue Oyster bar.
Pretty much the same for cowboy boots here. Weird how it varies huh?

yup weird....dunno what it is....cowboys are kool....in my younger days huge fan of sir eastwood and the spaghettis....etc etc....but whenever i see someone wearing cowboy boots...however butch, trailhardened, weatherbeaten and tough they may be....i always laugh....i've absolutely nothing against cowboy boots, nor do i have any deep seated reason or experience that makes me find them so funny...i simply find them funny looking and hilarious and i've no idea why....

I expect it was purely for purposes of academic research

Waiting for my sister. She needed a ride home.
If you really want a laugh, watch somebody wearing them for the first time try to walk.
