These classic Congress Gaiters carry a storied past—back in 1878, a New York gentleman named Frank O'Neil found them so appealing he walked right out of a Hudson Street shop wearing a new pair without paying. The police quickly apprehended him, securing his footnote in footwear history.
It's easy to see why these boots have remained a favorite for over a century. Their timeless slip-on style with signature elastic side-gussets makes them ideal for any occasion requiring period-appropriate footwear, from mid-nineteenth century through the turn of the century and beyond.
Our Congress Gaiters feature faux leather uppers, authentic elastic side-gussets for easy on-and-off wear, and a durable 1 inch non-skid heel. The boot shaft stands 5¼ inches tall from the sole (not including the heel).
Imported. Available in men's sizes 8-13
