Are you sure it's the boots squeeking, and how do you manage to make a pair of boots last 3 years, mine are shagged out after less than 1??

I go through a pair of Makro’s black & decker boots every 6 months. The sole always splits from hand digging, but as there 25 quid a pair I guess you get what you pay for.

I sold a pair of my old sweaty, stinky, diesel-impregnated tarmac boots, I found that putting "Gay Fetish" in the title improved my sales.

Be wary, if you are going to sell your boots, P&P is expensive so don't under-estimate it.
