Talk:Harness boots

Does anyone know the importance of the rings that hold the straps together? Is it purely decorative or utilitarian-derived? I can't imagine what they would be used for.

I'm pretty sure that there is no utilitarian reason for the harness and rings, and that they are purely decorative. The original design may have been inspired by a horse's bridle. Bootedbear 02:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
