Magnums melt easily in hot weather. Especially the dark chocolate >ones.
Do they still make those, I don't get out and don't watch TV to know for sure, but I'm guessing this is the ice cream you're on about here!? ;O)
I wouldn't put too much faith in brand names.
They're very good for distinguishing one from another but beyond that I get skeptical!
Most are just trying to
>cash in on a better known brand. I've seen plenty of "Cat-Track" and >"Timberwolf" boots.
And that's why! ;O)
BTW - I have a pair of the dodgy desert boots - they didn't last out >the summer !
How on earth did you manage to end up with them?
so many small toolshops just don't bother changing the VAT rate for the

Right, silly devils, but I can appreciate their problem. Last thing I'd ever do is offer the chancellor an extra bite for free. Not after he's spent all those years teaching me how "being mean" works, it'd be impolite, and would suggest I hadn't been paying attention to anything he'd said or done! ;O)
Cheap. My workshop boots rarely cost me more than twenty quid. As
>they always wear the leather off the toes in no time, I don't care if >they're ugly.
Me neither, and in view of the wear, I was wondering about the "steel on the outside" variety. Easier to get welded to something by mistake I suppose?
Cheapest of the lot are pull-on rigger boots. Especially if you drink
>in The Tarmacer's Rest, and there's a guy comes round the tables
>flogging cheap ones.
Yes, spotted that type; was a bit concerned that small hot items could drop in the tops under the right/wrong circumstances, and then I might feel a bit foolish for having chosen that style!
Farm shops are usually a decent price. Arco aren't too bad either.
Had some good stuff from farm shops in the past. All of it still exists too, of course! ;O)
No problem. Use insoles. Use orthotic insoles if you have to (try

>soles are uncomfortable anyway, because they don't flex.
Ah, had wondered if that might not be the case, thanks for confirming it.
So don't buy mail-order then !
No realistic choice, as I'm house bound. But the point is taken. It's why I try to find out as much as possible by other means, this group being part of that.
I've got wide feet, and they're two
>different sizes. I only ever buy where I can try them on.
I tend to order two or more for size choices and return what's no good, but I tend to check with suppliers in advance that's they find it acceptable, it's amazing how many are happy to help like that. Takes a little more patience all round, but I generally get there in the end!
Insoles help a lot.
Yes, looks like the way to go. Thanks
