Show us your boots

[astrogoji]

baracuta:  pretty sure they are Julians.  They are aniline steerhide as far as I remember, very nice thick leather.  These retailed at close to a $1000 in the states so I would imagine you being able to fetch a good price as they don't come up for auction very often.  Love the studs on the boots, it is a rare find on an engineer these days.  If they were my size I would jump at them.

thanks for the info guys. they were selling these for £119 in the rl shop i probably should have bought a few more pairs!

[Dirty Denim]

Wow is that a score.  The studs won't be seen as much considering u will have ur jeans over them.  I'd give them some more thought

[astrogoji]

that is a tremendous score    they are beauties–gonna have to hunt around in the states for a size 12

when i showed my girlfriend the boots she laughed and asked if i'd joined a village people tribute band so they've gotta go!

If you can get more of those for 119£ and in size US9, I'll take a pair screaming….

[Giles]

Me too.  I may have to stop at Bicester and pop into the RRL outlet later…

If you go, don't forget me…

What size Continental?

[injunjack]

US9, British 8, EU42

Giles if you are going and they have a UK 11 wide please gimme a shout!

[simonc]

And B61 the studs are personal taste but they are traditional, so its not some gimmick, and I think they look great!

You would be crazy to sell them, but if you really must, try selling them on japanese ebay. They are in "My 211", the Free & Easy magazine editor Minoru Onozato's display of his wardrobe (and car etc.) which should lead to fierce demand, especially in this rather small size.

[baracuta61]

giles they had about 8 more pairs of these in various sizes in bicester on tuesday night so there may be some left. they also had some pairs of a chelsea/riding boot style whichi think were £249. good luck

[baracuta61]

nicecrackaction, thanks for the tip, unfortunately mine are probably a bit large for japan. i'll probably just put them on uk ebay on sunday.

[Sugar Mountain]

Man, that RL store at Bicester is a total zoo at the weekends. Worth working through it all though if there are RRL gems to be found.

Size 8 UK is what they sell the most, as far as I can tell from their websites, like this one:

Sorry folks.  We ended up in South Wales, so came back home on the M4 not the M40, so did not go past Bicester….

[injunjack]

No problemo, it was just a long shot…
