These of any interest to you?

I would have been but I'd have to wear to mean socks to make them fit my little feet

Man what a cool shop I think they must have every other lowa boot that they make expect for the Tibet & I think that's what I'd stick with if I buy lowas

I got a pair from https://www.unterwegs.biz

a few years back and they were great to deal with. Even sourced a pair in wide fit that weren't listed on the website. Worked out at half the local price.

Hunting and fishing have good prices, can get lowa tibets for $900 when on sale quite frequently

Do I detect a whiff of sarcasm?

Do mean "camping and clothing" ?? Never shop there even if I have no other choice

I wouldn’t be posting up anything on this thread as I’ve seen NZ importers get a bit iffy on kiwis buying gear from overseas to the point they complain to the manufacturer who in turn complains to the overseas seller who in turn stops selling to kiwis on the net

Thats called socialism(-:

There used to be a place in the UK, I got a pair of tibets delivered 5? Years ago for just under $250 at the same time they were selling at $700+ in stores in nz... Can recall a thread about it and as has been mentioned above the nz distributor got a little 'irritated' over it all

It's the Government they need to complain too
When they changed the 400$ threshold to 1000$ "expecting" the online store overseas would collect they NZ GST for them
What a joke
Heaps of people buying items up to and over 1000NZ$ now and not paying Duty or GST

We have very clever people running the country now
None of whom have had business themselves
Just sheets of paper saying how well the studied on a "specific" topic

Clown World now

Anyway - will come back with a online store that is better than Trekkin

Was that "My hunting shop"? I got a pair of Lowas off them for 1/2 NZ retail. Site seems to have disappeared.
