I'm gonna pop down there and see what they look like in the flesh. Thanks for the link.

On Saturday was in M&S Oxford Street and tried on there Luxury Suede Chelsea Boot, for £79.99 they are not to shabby, the soles of them are a bit naff, but the shape and feel is very nice, considering the price point and company.

I've just bought a pair of Burfords and went tts. I tried 1/2 down but preferred the slight bit room in my true size. Could have gotten away with 1/2 size down with thin socks. Trickers say to go true. It's the 4444 last that you need to size down on.

Anyone want some super super comfortable boots for the winter, hard to beat these. I'm on my second pair in 2 years after i wore my others to death.

Not exactly a great recommendation if they wore out in 2 years.

Can't believe you wore them that much. How many days do we get when waterproof shoes are necessary?

Should have added I've done several hikes in them over here and in Oz. Walked to work in them probably 10 times a month(15mile round trip). 2 years is pretty good I'd say.

Maybe if you concentrated on them less you could find a cure for your baldness.

For real? How long does that take? Any podcasts you haven't listened to?

Its just under 2 hours each way so not that bad. i've got 34 podcasts on rotation to get me through it, it's not the most pleasant walk but wakes me up, gives me time to think and process that i wouldn't normally have.
Been doing it for about 3 years(ish) now, but 2 years ago i moved and it went from a 9 mile round trip to 15 and back then i did it every day without fail, can't do it every day now(too old).

yep
