I may have forgotten something, fooled around for a while trying to get the colors and contrast the way I wanted.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I'm happy with this finish..
Now to answer a few questions.
For those who asked how I got that boot to stand up, it's the simplest thing in the world. I broke off a piece of coat hanger and stuck it into the crack in the sidewalk and into the tread on the boot, and balanced it.
For those who commented on the sepia tone, it's mostly natural. This was taken in the dead of night, the shadows came from a street light as did the whole orangish look. It was a much brighter orange before I post processed it.

Nice effect, nice tones, nice shadows. Also the best photo for that title that I've seen (and believe me, that title has been very common in this challenge :)). 9
This is cool how they seem to be walking without anybody in them. I like the long shadows of the late day light. The filter adds a nostalgic sense to them. I like this more upon second review. 8
Nice shadows, I like how the boots are walking with invisible feet. I really dig sepia. The grass in the background is a little too dark. The testure of the sidewalk is cool, however.
