Ha! Not at same time. 450 from here to Falmouth long enough. No holidays since 2019 so we are due some

Mine do a year but I live in them.

They’re true to size, too - if you’re a proper 10, order a 10 (you know, human adult male sized). They’ll fit.

I think I’m on my 3rd or 4th pair, now.

About the same as four pairs of DeWalt safety boots. Maybe just under.

The soft toe UBOK is over £100 now, maybe £110.
Used to get them sent from Everything Australian for £68 delivered, but the UK sellers got them shut down, and they can no longer export them.

reading this thread, i I'm reminded of this quote

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”​
