Redback boots at Highland show?

Help please.
I think I would like some new boots and want to try Redbacks. No local shop. I am not prepared to order maybe 6 pairs from Tinterweb in the hope of finding one that fits.
Question is, are there Redback suppliers who go to that show with stock for sale and if so where to find them? It’s a big place!
Any help greatly appreciated.

Ah so your the 1 that won the euro millions jackpot 😳 if you can afford to go to the highland AND buy red backs you must’ve won the jackpot 🙈
Give me a break😁
Son bought tickets for me, didn’t ask price, might spoil my day! Saved on the last 2 years of course.
Had 2 pairs of boots in 21 years so I reckon I am doing my bit to save the planet. Or it is it we have rain all the time and rarely wear them?
Might end up with something cheaper and better, who knows?

Last show they did have their own stall. Half way up the furthest on the left machinery aisle if that makes sense.
I fancy trying a pair myself as the recent Bucklers are not lasting well plus I want a black pair which Bucklers don't do.

Highway shearing might have them, Dave will definitely be at the show. He is usually between the sheep pens and the shearing. It’s certainly worth popping in to see
