English term or phrase: jack boots
One of them came in and stuck his gun within a few feet of the receptionist's face. One thing though, they didn't have jack boots. You've heard of the jack boots and all that. They had on regular shoes, and even though they had guns, they wore regular shoes and kicked the doors in with their regular shoes.

Co to za buciory?
Dziękuję za pomoc.
