Yup. M'lady could spike up and down my back... :D:flute:

 

On more mundane matters, is'nt it shocking how much chainsaw protection adds to the price of a boot?

They are cheaper because of less hand finishing, cheaper leather, no gor-tex liner and no vibram sole. If you look at Meindl Burmas which are closer to the Meindl chainsaw boots the average rrp is £140 ish.

 

I just bought myself some AKU Croda's which are £150 rrp as they are mostly hand made.

 

Yes I am that sad.

Meindl make good boots thats for sure, but if you want some new non chainsaw boots then you got to get a pair of these.
