Probably someone here can help you out but check out Salvation Army shops etc, pick up an old pair of army boots, you do need to wear boots. It only takes one minor bin, not even your fault, to have you limping for life.

I think I can help. I have a pair down the back, I will even go so far as to let you keep the geraniums that have been growing in them for the last 6 years or so. I know they are still water proof because when I over water the plants, the water does not run out the bottom....

Sally army or Cash converters often have a few pair

So.......? Just trying to be helpful. Your location isn't in your short profile and is irrelevant. You are asking for generosity from KBers so you can't complain. You're willing to take boots for free or low cost, but not prepared to help yourself by checking out recycled clothing stores. You are close to North Shore and Auckland which has plenty of places.

By comparison, Christchurch is the nearest place to me with plenty of choice - 600k.

The net isn't too good at conveying tone, so things can be read differently from what is intended. For example, I thought you were telling me I was no help at all. All good no problem, just a misunderstanding.

And you don't have to put your location, its just most people do. Best of luck. :niceone:

No problem, i just had a bit of an outburst, i shouldn't of reacted like the way i did.
Plus it was like dropping a berley in a harbour full of troll sharks.

I seriously reccomend the army surplus store on K' rd it has heapsa stuff there, its between the bridge over the motorway and pitt street (correct me if i'm wrong sum1 please), easy to find and will probly have heaps of boots, a bit far away from where you are (cos i know these things) but worth the ride, i can take you there tomorrow if you want and you aint at school, ignore the fuckers getting angry or having a cry session cos they dropped their bubble o bill. it aint worth feeding the trolls (woops typo there instead of "trolls" i mean "unreasonable wankers who jump in the interweb to start arguments an offer no constructive criticism".) hehe
