How can you order something like work boots without seeing how well theyre made AND not being able to try them on.

You must be nuts.

Yes I viewed van then drove 100 miles to Yorkshire to pick it up. Also viewed shoes but they will be posted to me. Its called internet shopping. Just like when I paid over £400 for a slx pole last month. Never tested it or tried before I parted with my cash.
Theres always one aint there!!

just looking back at at the pic again - you have to be joking about buying these for work boots!!!!!!

a thin layer of suede for work! i dont think so!!

those boots are what you would see oasis or kasabian wear!! mod style boots.

they would be wrecked within a week!
