Re: the retailer
I've been there.
The boots that didn't last 200 miles. My opinion of Karrimor has hit the floor.
In the RSA they used to sell neat "bullet resistant" kit. If it was of the same quality as their footwear I'd hope nobody is after me with a blow gun.
I have a 40 year old Karrimor rucsac which is actually decent.
Same outfit sells "Dunlop" branded boots. They are just as bad.
