    Boots from overseas

    So what sites are people getting boots from.
    I'm having problem finding boots as I need size us16 or uk15 it really pisses me off trying to find lightweight boots.

    Not sure if @Sarvo is still importing them? Good guy to deal with. FYI in my experience with Lowas anyway is the imported boots are far better quality. Almost every single pair I know of that been brought in New Zealand have failed in 18 months and my two sets of imported ones have lasted 4-5 years including a decent bit of farm use.

    Size is my biggest issue Swarvo's boots didn't go big enough I tried them some years ago.

    Varuste which folk have already said, had a few orders with them always very quick to arrive.
    I got a pair of new Meindl desert issue boots for about $150 delivered from eBay, can’t fault the value and they should go up to the size you need.
