- Summary
- These boots are part of a four-piece inflight coverall garment worn by astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin during his Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
- The complete garment, made by the B. Welson Company, consists of jacket, trousers and boots which had a circular Velcro patch on the soles. It is constructed of a Teflon-coated beta cloth which is highly fire resistant, and the "slippery" qualities of the fabric enabled the astronaut to don and doff the garment with ease in a weightless environment.
- The jacket had a US flag on the left shoulder and a NASA "meatball" logo on the upper torso. Flight garments also had a mission symbol attached to the upper torso.
- Transferred to the National Air and Space Museum from NASA in 1979
