British Bike Boot Bonanza!

[pipvh]

Up for your consideration: two pairs of classic rocker motorcycle boots:

The first are made by Lewis Leathers, the classic 4-strap, reinforced upper, full-zip (RiRi) design in a generous size UK 12 (but a small 12: I wear a UK 11 and these fit me perfectly with an inner sole).

The second pair is by Gold Top, and they are the real 1960s deal: the fully sheepskin-lined Trophy model in a size UK 11. Cat's Paw soles!! The sheepskin is in remarkably good nick - not odiferous or nasty in any way, but the zips (Clix) need to be restitched on both boots in the ankle area.

The Lewis Leathers are £100 plus postage, and the Gold Tops are £50 plus postage.

I'll be putting the Lewis Leathers bots on the 'bay this afternoon if no-one nibbles here. Go on - make me an offer I can't refuse!

BUGGER

My feet are too small! I'm only a UK size 8.

Wonderful boots.

 

[pipvh]

Well... they're a tight fit, but not that tight! Too bad.

Still not on Ebay... I needed some better pics, and a foggy day combined with my natural lethargy means I've yet to put them on that well-known auction site. Meanwhile....

Lewis boots down to £90

Gold Tops down to £40

Great boots - a bargain at those prices. What's up with folks?

Interested in the Lewis Leathers

I wear a 12D, and I'm interested in the Lewis Leather boots if they'll fit. What is the cost of shipping to the USA?

I was thinking the same thing, HJ. Strange times on a vintage clothing forum. [huh]

Excellent! I'll find out tomorrow and let you know.

Gus,
It's going to be pricey to send these to the US, I'm afraid: £50 at least. International postage has gone a bit insane recently...

 

[Gus]

Not completely discouraged

See what you can do on the shipping cost and send an email to me at jcdisque@aol.com. Thanks.

 

[pipvh]

Gus, I've sent you an email.

Couple of days left to run - there's a bargain here for some lucky dog!

The Gold Tops go on tomorrow.
