LOWA BOOTS

[tatsblisters 7,956]

You might be surprised it seems to me the chinks going on what I see at work nearly every one wearing the light weight safety trainer's I dare bet they are all made in China same as the Ridgeline outdoor clothing is.

Its a lottery mate, the chinky stuff ranges from tat to indistinguishable
