Last time I saw them was at the Land Rover Owner show 2002, Anchor supplies had several pallets of them for £5 a pair.

They have a website but I don't have the url for it.

I don't go to college in Street, the home of clarks shoes. I don't think they make them anymore. I'll have a look around. If they do, I should be able to get a discount as some of my mates work in the factory shop.

These aren't them are they?

 

[al]

no thats not them either , but cheers :-D

Al,

I know the ones that your on about, I got mine about 14 years ago in a shop called Saxon, don't think the shop still exists and I haven't seen the boots for sale for a long time.

Good luck in your search mate.
