Saw a pair of elephant boots on a guy in a State College brew pub around 90 or 91. Kinda funny. They dropped down and wrinkled like--elephant skin.
That’s State College PA.
Mine look like regular boots, just gray.
They don't droop - but I do believe that you did see what you saw.
Today there is an elephant ‘pattern’ as elephant skin is now illegal to make things out of...
Come to think of it I recall seeing some boots back then all rumply - might have been a style thing.
