Meindl Timberking boots

Yep made up my mind, def going for another pair of Tirols, after five years and a re-tread they are only just becoming bin fodder!

Wonder if we can get a bulk discount if we order 2 pairs?

[Chris Sheppard]

Just ordered a pair of the Tirol's, hopefully should be in some shiny new boots by the end of the week

 

Do I need to use special stuff on them for waterproofing or will stuff for ordinary leather be OK? I've got some Mink Oil that works really well on normal leather.

Good choice! Not sure about the mink oil, I use the special beeswax which Pfanner do for the boots. Its quite good because once youv melted it into the seams it solidifys again and stays waterproof for quite a long .I say waterproof if you held your foot in a stream for a few mins you'd probably get a wet foot, but in long grass and rain etc Iv never had wet feet. The wax is quite pricey tho £16 (will do about 5-6 recoats if you do it properly) so not sure if there is cheaper stuff which will do the same thing? I just felt like spending at the time:biggrin:

Just had call from the supplier saying they've not got the size I want in stock and that they just spoke with the importer who told them that the Tirol Fighter is being discontinued for the UK and they can't get hold of any more.

 

More than a bit P'd off - why show something as available on their website if they don't actually have them sat there ready to go

 

Also, it's funny how the money comes out of your account instantly but is going to tkae 2/3 days to come back

Sorted - Honey Bros had them sat on the shelf

Does that mean I'm going to have to have a shave and a haircut too

 

Figure new boots can't hurt as much as my current ones are

 

Wonder whose will arrive first - the race is on
