    What? Is this another one of those "Aussie" things, and I, being American, will just never be able to understand? Are you talking length vs width? Anyway, other than fitting problems you may be having with them, that last pair of boots look pretty good Carl.

    Y'all take care now, Don
    I can explain it. I'm an idiot. I meant to say I'd rather boots that are too large than too small. Thanks for the comments re the new boots, Don :-)

    The only thing worse than being teased is not being teased. All is good. Just happy really to be the centre of attention :-)

    I REALLY like the polishing, but I'm not overly besotted by the toe cap thingy. Actual steel toe caps would be nice. A bit of wet and dry, a bit of elbow grease and you'll REALLY stand out...Or brass even! Brass toe caps, with little fake screws holding them on (you'd need to glue them on). You could decide whether you wanted them to get some nice brassy patination or polish them manically...Steel toe caps for black boots, brass ones for brown...
