Heh, I just got the catalog myself this morning. The boots stood out to me as well.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
They certainly caught the eye of the XMTS group! I got my catalog yesterday as well and that's the first thing I saw. I WANT!!! and I don't generally wear that sort of boot...but I'd start!!
Wellies are unisex. A guy I knew a long time ago had a pair of golden coloured wellies from Biba, the London boutique that was famous in the '60s. Those were technically ladies' ones, but he got them as a present from his girlfriend and they were his treasured possession. He always wore them for walks in the country.
My problem with "unisex" shoes/boots is twofold. First they are generally narrower than men's for the same length. Second, very few are made in women's sizes above 12 (US). I wear a men's 13E
Bought a pair of dancing gillies, size 15, and had to stretch the bejabbers out of them to get them to fit. Fortunately one can do that to thin, soft leather (goatskin, I would guess).
