    Looking for a comfortable, durable boot after doc martens fail.

    Vulcan quality dropped?

    Hey :) Reet i have had my mind set on a Berghaus Vulcan 1 (i don't see the point in £50 extra for mmps zips, aka the vulcan 2). I contacted a company that sells the Vulcan 2 with a desired modification to see if they offer it on the Vulcan 1 (since it is still available new elsewhere). What i...
