Show us your boots

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.

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

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.

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:

nice wesco roughouts not sure about chunky soles but check out the work http://www.life-time-gear.com/2012/09/boot-of-day-140-wesco-jobmaster-toe-cap.html

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

No problemo, it was just a long shot…

i love those.  Im with you on the soles though.  I think something a bit less agressive would suit the boot better.  maybe a Vib 430 or even a 700.  I would probably change the laces as well, as that contrast seems off to me for some reason.

Thing is I cant look at a chunky sole on a bloke without thinking hardcore bear - plus I have this belief "Less is More".

They look great.
Just to learn more: What is the difference between Chelsea boots (would have thought these were Chelseas) and Jodhpurs?

[Giles]

I suspect the 2 terms are interchangeable.  I know of no difference.

I see. Cheers
