In sandy places the preferred footwear was the self-purchased Bata Desert Boot. 500 baisa or fils/ Ten bob a pair from the Wog Shop.

 

Is the abbreviation for "Worthy Oriental Gentleman" allowed in these PC times? 

 

As a matter of historical accuracy, the abbreviation was the norm for the residents by the RAF in Egypt in WW II.

I would wager he's not a regular, ideally laces should be tied as per ladder rungs (for ease of cutting through for boot removal when wounded) and puttee ends on outside of legs with point of v rearwards.  Great photo though!
