I've had my low-end Thor 327 boots for two years now and I like them too. I found them at a local shop for $99. They're comfy and holding up very well. They seem to run about a half size big, which is good so I can wear heavy wool socks in the winter. Mark B2 A2

Get some real Kombat Boots - Matterhorn Cold Weather Combat boots are waterproof and insulated and look like serious footwear rather than space boots. Used ones on ebay all the time for cheap. Already broken in too. Kick some ass. Bill 78' Guzzi T3 - KLR Wannabe LawsonCL@... wrote:

This was my reply to Ed's earlier message. I don't know why Ed's posting this stuff to the KLR list, but I sure don't want to start another silly argument thread either.
