Lol sean, not to mention to long on my
Knees begging the missis not to go shopping again!

Boys these are from cabellas, about 110 quid with shipping, they have lasted ages considering i concrete in them and they were waterproof. But i do wear gators in the winter and 50% of my work is sat on a digger, they are also a 10" high boot which is great. The other major plus is that they sell a EE toe which is wider and better for me. I will probably buy the same pair again.

i had a lot of emails from worldwide asking about the smell of the boots,the guy that bought them actually claimed his mates did it for a prank after a load of stella but when i looked at his feedback he had bought over 40 pairs of mens used trainers/shoes etc
I hope he got what he needed from them
5 years ago the postage was £12 so thats one to be wary of

i posted a set of 48" record stillsons once at the post office, they where bloody heavy and opened to about 16 inches, anyhow i could figure out how to wrap the bloody things so i bound them in bubble wrap and then bound them in gaffer tape, the woman at the post office thought it was a gun lol cost me a fortune to post!

i still dont get how people get off on such things, how odd
