Do you remember where you got them?

Straight from Ken @ Aero.

Thank you Sir.

Wonder why Aero discontinued making the 1936 boots. Probably low sales made it non profitable to keep making them is my guess.

They cost a small fortune to buy back then from memory...

Like Couchy says Burt, they wouldn't be cheap to make properly and hence not cheap to sell. Plus you're looking at a very, very slim market of who will buy them: reenactors first and foremost and then the odd fellow living in very cold climes. The problem though for the chap living in very cold climes is that the sole is completely bloody useless for walking on ice and snow or places cold enough where you'd want to wear a sheepskin lined boot. With mirror ice you'd take one step out your front door, and you'd slip and fall on your arse and break your neck with soles like that.

Not sure that wearing them with elasticated tracksuit trousers is the epitomy of cool though.... let alone wearing indoors. My wife would go nuts !! Lol

 

[D97x7]

Actually I agree.

Actually I agree.

You are normally the essence of cool. I reckon you have Covid-19 and it’s affected your dress sense
