Xian's thread pretty much covers how to spot teh boots, but there are still a lot of posts here questioning if something is a boot or not. I thought it might be handy for n00bs to see what boots look like and how they can be spotted. Hopefully some find this useful. Pics taken from EBay and this forum, anyway, on to the fun.
