I'm cursing and swearing. Picture me truely hacked off...
I got one of the last "real" Karrimor boots, which has done me proud for years (NOT the same now - not advised).
I've said before they were getting tired - well they've pretty much all but died now, which is a real shame.
In Aviemore two weekends ago (in the 'van - man was it difficult to get around between the snow/ice, the size of my 'van and the idiot tourists). and went boot shopping.
Tried all the central stores, and the ONLY one where I found a pair that almost made me reach for my wallet was in Nevissport... But I got confused in trying on so many boots, and have TOTALLY forgotten what make (I do remember they were on the back wall, top shelf, towards the left...). Went away to look elsewhere and didn't write down the make/model. 'Twas something GT I think, but there's a lot of boots out there.
Now I'm in Inverness, I cannot seen to find the same boot. DAMN.
I've a wide foot, and I too have trouble finding a boot with space at the front (unlike Berghaus) that I dont slip out of at the back (Manta for instance).
SIGH.
