Thread: Boots without the pu shit

Bugger your big toe gear changing bikes, 3 wheelers and then quads with them. Only redeeming feature is that they were light and cheap, and that at the time I never realised how they were buggering my feet.

Thought I was very cool with the holes burnt though them with a hot wire in the instep to let the water out, and the number eight wire hooks instead of laces. One of the lads. But the truth is most of the old cult stuff was bad for you. Tui being an example.

Brand new leather boots. 2 weeks river walking in the Ruahines in 1975 and they were wrecked. Along came Bullers and never looked back. Yes people hated then but for value if doing heaps of river walking they cant be beat.. Did 5 hours today chasing trout in a full back country stream in them. Most hunting now in Redbands. Sorta like an expensive raincoat called Betacraft.

Betacraft I have, and can tolerate. Even if they are now made in China. All my rain and outer gear is Betacraft.
