[3] They reached to the knee and had a decorative tassel at the top of each shaft, with a "v" notch in front. [4] The Hessian boot would evolve into the rubber work boots known as "Wellington boots".
The boot is slightly bigger and heavier (~8 oz. (0.22 kg) more per boot) than the black Type I because of the extra insulation. These boots are manufactured by several companies including Bata, Acton and Air Boss. [5] Both Mickey Mouse boots and bunny boots have an air valve on each of the boots.
