Assuming the article survives VfD, something someone might like to investigate: my grandfather, who was a railwayman, claimed that these boots were invented after a shunting accident so that railwaymen could escape quickly if a boot got caught in a switch. Securiger 16:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chelsea boots

- These type of boots look an awful lot like Chelsea Boots —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.237.216.137 (talk • contribs).

They do rather look similar. Do you think Chelsea Boots should be merged to Australian work boots, or do they have an independent history and just look similar? --Scott Davis ^Talk 13:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree they're similar. I'm wearing a pair of Blundstone's at the moment, a quick check reveals the soles are different, and the front finger loop is missing on Chelsea Boots (Blundstone's have one front and rear), but everything else looks like a match. -- Longhair 14:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I also know another similar type of boot going by the name of "Dealer Boots". Any info on that?
