call me kev

Having had my observational skills sneered at by inner city tree hugging green voter, dreadlocked hippy and well known Milne imitator wbb over at Lava Lamp Prose, I offer the following proof of keen eyesight. Not to mention proof of a keen sense for sartorial sins.

Exhibit 1
20 things you need to know about Kevin Rudd, The AGE, December 3, 2006

19- Bespectacled and intellectual, Rudd does not come across as a typical Queenslander, but he does wear RM Williams boots: "Always have done."

Exhibit 2
Rudd and a woman not his wife pictured recently.



Exhibit 3
Close up of The Ruddster's Footwear

My trained eye* tells me the footwear of choice is a well worn pair of RM Williams Craftsman Veal as pictured below. A Top of the Line Dress boot. Luxury French Veal Calf leather, leather lined. Sewn welt leather soles with flat heels and individual protective moleskin boot bag for each boot .

Uncle FX says: Nothing wrong with RMs. But never with a suit.

* I have also noticed Kev wearing these boots in several newpaper photos not available online and on TV footage.
