Shortage of Boots

Post by needle »

Hi there
Just wondering if anyone having problems getting boots.I ordered a pair of CAT boots in 1st week of October and still nothing, having phoned numerous times and being told crap each time.
Asked my Dom to phone and he was told there was a shortage of Cat and dr Martins, what the F**k is that all about, a shortage of boots in middle of winter typical Royal Fail.
No doubt if we mucked up like this we would be hammered with a tonne of bricks.

Yep, same here. Was told they were out of stock until the end of January. Still, at least I've still got my magnums. The sole has been worn down to nothing and they now provide better grip than when they were new.

Yes there is a two week window when the magnums work.
Unfotunately after two weeks the soles will completely detach themselves from the rest of the boot. :wave
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yes, they did. I thought I was wearing flip-flops. Thank god for super glue. Course, a decent pair of boots would be better.
