::Barefoot Carpenter's Boots::
An outstanding pair of shoes. I wanted a pair of work boots that would stand up to hard farm work - pigs, goats, cattle and sheep - while
letting my feet do their feet thing. Goodbye padded, thick soled, mass produced work boots, hello happy feet. Thanks so much for these boots, thank you for making them. Wonderful communication throughout the process from pre- purchase to shipping from the UK to Oz.
