researchers are many times wrong because they don’t consider things like the man could have been wearing a costume for some occasion, not necessarily wearing boots of the current time he was living in. Or maybe he liked a certain style and was wearing them even though not in fashion. Reporters are just as bad usually pushing one angle instead of just reporting details or what is obvious and letting people form their own conclusion or opinion.

Thigh boots were popular in this country, during the Civil War.

Maybe he was a sewer-scavenger in his lifetime.

Those boots may have filled with water and caused his drowning.

Those thigh-high leather boots would have been appropriate for a life on the water, as they would have kept a person’s legs and feet dry while wading through the Thames’ muck.
********************************************
Leather boots in water keeping a man’s feet dry?
Nope. Not. Even. Close.
Leather barely even slows water down. And even if slathered with grease, the stitching and bottom of the sole (leather too) allow water to wick right in to the feet.
I learned this the hard way as a boot in the Corps.
Got me a spiffy brand new pair of “parachuter boots” from the PX for my first outting to the field for training.
Leather soles. Wet environment.
Nearly got myself a case of trench foot out of it.

It is true that thigh-highs make you look younger.
