thread_title:  What's a Vlahboot? 

message: It is interesting to note the english language uses the same word "boot" to describe footwear worn in cowboys movies as well as soldiers, even though the two kind are completely different (lack or presence of shoelace, lenght, style, etc.)
In hungarian language the hiking and military stlye ankle-lenght footwear with shoelace is called "bakancs", while the cowboy and snow-time footwear is called "csizma". Strange that the english-speaking do not need to differentiate the naming between these. 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That is language for you; not all languages make the same distinctions, and the context will usually be sufficient to provide the differences for a native speaker. I am sure there are examples where English distinguishes between words where Hungarian does not. Arnoutf (talk) 21:52, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I came to this article just to look at the history of boots... when'd they come about? (especially in European history) —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 02:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there a name for the upper part, above the ankle? In particular of soft boots that tend to "fold down"? Or is that a style of shoe?  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  08:58, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Why is this at the very top of the article if the proper title itself is "trunk", not "boot"? I know, some refer to the part as the "boot", but does that warrant its highlight in the disambiguation template thing in this case? Wouldn't booting take precedence? Sorry, just thinking out loud here, it's not imperative for me to know, but I would like an opinion :) ~Helicopter Llama~ 20:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

message: On the shoe wiki there is a diagram for "Parts of a shoe" which shows which parts of the shoe are the Welt, sole, inner sole, etc... - I think having such a diagram for boots, or even army boots, would help in definitions of words when discussing the limitations of army boot and other boot designs.  
As a brief side note, there is NO mention of which parts of a Boot could benefit from advanced materials such as Kevlar, etc... or, indeed, which parts of the boot are commonly the first parts to fail (the sole-leather interface of a boot, or the rubber sole's limited ability to endure, causing holes in the sole to form, or for the traction based bottom of the sole to wear away rendering the boot useless when it is slippery.
