Remember there was a carry-on in the news a few years ago about squaddies out in Afghanistan/the Gulf having their boots falling apart?
Multiple choice question.
They collected all the boots in that batch and:
a) Re-issued them to other squaddies.
b) Threw them in a skip.
c) Put them in an army surplus auction.
I've had a pair of them too, soles came apart in huge lumps. Bin them, chalk it up to experience. Try to pull lumps out of the next pair before you buy. You can get Alt-Berg and Haix boots army surplus too. Search for "High liability boots". ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Ouch. I guess I got lucky, my last pair (the GoreTex lined ones) lasted 5 1/2 years of constant daily use before the soles finally wore through in a more natural way.
The replacements have been fine too, but that... wow. I see why folk don't trust them. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Get a grip, TT.
There's no need to go making a wisecrack at thx's expense.
It must be soul-destroying enough for him as it is.
Ummm . . .
But, hey-ho . . . best foot forward, eh? ____________________ There's a fine line between integrity |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 318 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
