When I was younger, I worked for a concrete company. When the drivers would return to the batch plant, they had to empty out the trucks each time. If they were able to dump unused concrete at the construction site, they just had to wash the truck out. If they were unable to dump onsite, they brought it back and filled forms for these blocks (sometimes known as "Jersey Blocks"). It was not uncommon for someone to put boots or gloves along the edge of the form, or at the top, in this case, as a joke. These blocks are poured on their sides in order to form the ridges in the top and bottom.
