I'm a little bit in love with those shoes! Sigh I better not go looking for them I don't need more footwear.
However the flap to stop bits of 'stuff' is brilliant, I haven't seen that before. It's rather apt as I went wandering in a paddock on a job site the other day to get a picture with a thistle. I came out covered in clingy, spiky, ouchy 'stuff' and spent a while picking it carefully off my boot laces and pants.
- Only to find the Thistle thread closed

Are the Kilttie & Looger boots Steel Capped?
They are rather fabulous as well (and stop I really don't need more boots or shoes... but I could wear them at work and with kilts that makes it practical doesn't it????)
