Cheers, is the state of them an issue?? As in, are you expected to clean/polish for lines, or are they only used for certain activities and ignored the rest of the time??

the boots generally were in decent condition
but after a few trips under the scamble nets my sole started flapping off at the front...about 2inches! lived through the next hour and a half okay, shame they were three sizes to small for me to do and did no end of damage to my heel!....curse the bleeding things;)

cheers, davo
