The Mountain Boots

In one of the old funiculars of the Waraira Repano National Park in Caracas, precious elements and photographs of the construction of the cable car system are protected, I was able to find this work boot, immediately several questions came to my mind: "Who did they belong to? a worker, or maybe it would be the engineer of the work ?, how much work and effort endured at the feet of its owner ?, how much would protect from rain, mud or snakes ?. There was no one to answer my questions ... but I'm sure that soon I will discover ..!
