    Moss’ career was over in 1962 as result of Goodwood accident so his race gear was probaly before the specialist race boots offerings. Boxing boots foe him seem to make sense — didn’t he box at one point ?

    Also it just occurred to me … If Jim Clark is seen wearing the distinctive Edward Lewis Westover GP boots with tan heel on the image on the prior post when he tragically died early April 1968 it further questions the timeline of the Hagerty author’s Ciccio tale. That says the Ciccio big break only came following the one-off bespoke pair he made for Elford that Targa of 68

    Unless I’m mistaken this is Silverstone 1963 around two years before the Ciccio first one off commission and nearly five years before it is implied drivers were all forced to use regular clodhopper street shoes until Ciccio race boots. Hmm…. If so then clearly specific for racing grand prix boots were available and in already use by top driver(s) 1963 and 1964
