Thanks for the comments.  Also, thanks, Delmonico, for all of your work with this photo--there's a lot more there than I thought!

By the way, the original photo is less than 2 1/2 inches wide...

A lot of those photos have stuff in them, the problem is when looking through 100's if not like me 10,000's of them, which ones are worth the trouble to find unique things in.

A did find a good picture of a "Congress shoe" copied from an original 1860's one, it seems to have a center seam on the vamp:

I also took the guy on the right's watch fob and cigar cutter (I'm 99% sure RCJ is right.

After I got them as good as I could with the HP program I ran them through the one that came with my camera.  The red eye section also does green and yellow eye, have found out that can help with flash reflection sometimes.

I think they are a little clearer now:

This is where I found them, you could call and ask, don't know anything about the company.

I'm going to search and see if I can find a pair for me locally with out the mud tread the ones here have.  Gonna rattle the boot buys cage over it also.

Bro. Lawdog,

Robert Land is an excellent boot maker.  Very high reputation in the authentic living history arena!  IIRC he is in Canada, but ships to the US.
