1930, France. Designed by Andre Perugia.
Was reading La Gazette de Bon Ton from (almost!) 100 years ago the January 1924 edition) and there's this little article about sports shoes by Perugia with examples for skating, tenis, golf, and riding, and I thought "I've seen those boots before!", so I went looking for them and here we are: crocodile riding boots by André Perugia from the 1920s as reported in this French magazine and some outfits to complement.
