I've got them on. They feel really secure. Very well padded. They're wider than my Pumas. Armour in all the right places and safety systems for the ankle

black,I really didnt want to fork out on new boots but I remember Marcus crash and it makes me squeamish
Boots half on cant be a good thing
ps these seem very good value compared to more prominent brands on the market

They look good boots. With the exchange rate where it is at the moment it is the best time for a long while to buy kit. The euro retailers have good customer service and very good prices.

I think the exchange rate will lead to more people shopping online in Europe. I know a few on here do and most of the lads at work do too.

The euro is said to be dropping for a few more weeks so make the most of it.

Finally got round to wearing these today.

Without a doubt they are not boots for cold weather. Or to put a positive spin on it, the ventilation works really well.

Very comfortable and secure though. Good boots if anyone is looking to replace theirs.

After wearing Pumas for years I love how easy they are to take off.
