View of the pattern tread on the boot's sole.

This version of the boot's sole (i.e., which was actually worn on the moon) was refined from earlier patterns. The toe area (partially cut off at far right) was strengthened from earlier patterns by extending the crescent-shaped toe rib to the edge of the boot.
