Finding some footwear any pointers.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Went into my local ex-Honda Dealer now Royal Enfield to try on some boots.
First shock was when the long haired guy behind the counter said "Eyup Ted how you doing?" it was an ex-copper I worked with in the late 1970's.
After trying on about four different makes none that even began to fit over my foot - he went off & came back with a pair of Size 12 Daytonas - perfect fit so handed over about twice my original budget and came out of the shop a happy bunny.
Even nicer they were a Birthday present from Wendy. Parts arrived today so if its a tad warmer I will be sorting out the fuel pipe routing tomorrow.

I’ve worn Daytonas for years.
They never leak and last (almost) forever.
Apparently they will re-sole and repair any vintage boot but I only know of one guy who tried it and the cost was almost as much as a new pair…

I was told 12-15 years was not unusual - they will outlive me!

I didnt even mention Daytona, thought they would be too pricey for what you wanted Ted. Superb boots and probably the best on the market for fit. Well done mate :)

It was more a case of nothing fitted that was in my original budget plus a good soft sell salesman is Damon!
