There is a pair on ebay at the minute with a starting bid of £9.99. with them being incorporated into the sole of the boot there isn't much call for them now.

the one i had wrapped around your boot with like a leather belt thingy,now that boots are so cheap and there is less hand digging its a bit pointless
although we/i still have to do a lot of hand digging,diggers churn gardens to pieces

cheap boots my ar5e. I tried cheap dealer boots, did the toecaps in a fortnight and then sparks off the cutter ruined the stitching up the front. Fair enough a machine will make life easier but when the service drawing looks like a plate of spag bol you cant beat a grafting spade & a shovel. Just need the bloody diggin irons now!
