This is a crime!  According to this toy, Johnny wore harness boots.

    They didnt even have harness boots back then,either.
    I dont think anyone wouldve bought them back then even if they did!
    Theyre stoopid lookin'
    Like when the Camel Filters guy wore them in them magazine ads.
    Them boots one of the things that made the 70s suck so hard.

    Just noticed Johnny had his 501s taken in at the leg! At least the ones he's wearing on that shot...

    I'm not perfect, but being in the military has taught me a little bout attention to detail. Johnny's boots (to me) are a big part of his appeal. It's like putting a black McG Drizzler on a Jim Stark action figure. It's just too obvious.

    MF, isn't that just an odd thing? They were either taken in or...patched? That has to be at least a four inch seam allowance. Either way, good eye.

    Cheers!
