Eddie's Slip-on Boots

Just wondering if anyone knows the brand of Ed's brown slip on boots?

Before I get replies about "who cares" or "buy what you want" can I preface it with it is a long running bet with a friend of mine since IIC DVD came out with the boot closeup of Ed stepping on his cigarette at the beginning.

Just want to clear it up.

Here's the best link I could find: http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/archives/Eddie_75954258.jpg

Thanks in advance.

    Not the best for the boots but couldn't find anything else that didn't have his daughter with him.

    That's cool if they are Blundstones. Made in Australia! Up until a few months ago that is...

    Are they Blundstones for sure?

    They are definitely Blundstones...
    almost all the band picked them up in Australia during the 2003 tour...if you look through enough pics during the US leg, you'll see each of them wearing Blunnies at one point of time or another...
    I noticed cause I've been wearing them for years...best boots out there!

    Yeah Im pretty sure they are Blunstones too, a couple Australian friends brought a few pairs back from home and they look just like Ed's.
    I dont like them though, I've heard they are very very comfortable but IMO they are very ugly.

    I brought a pair of these after seeing Ed wearing something similiar - in Peanut:

    They are so very comfortable amd would reccomend them.

    They are very popular here in Australia. After 130 years or something they are now being made in India instead of Australia. Too bad. Still good boots though.

    They do look like some great shoes. What are they and where can one find them?

    Haha, I had no idea Ed wore these. I have a pair for wearing around my parents' barn -- they're pretty much the mandatory footwear, better than the usual paddock boots, for many horsey people. I think they're comfortable but I never wear them anywhere else. They're just associated with 'the barn' for me. Pretty sure you can buy them at select tack shops or leather/"cowboy" type stores, and probably some outdoor sport stores.
