At least you didn't buy some scuffed ones like some people do

Makes me laugh when I see peeps strolling about with virgin knee sliders. Even my mrs points them out now.

i was watching these...i emailed the seller asking why he was selling and he told me it was because they gave him a toenail fungal infection and he needed to get new boots.

Fair enough i suppose! I just find it hard to understand why you dont want to pay for new boots when you own so many cool/expensive toys!

probably because people who have money have it for a reason, and most are tight as fook and dont like spending it, but those of us who hardly have any spend it like its going out of fashion, definitely a lesson to be learnt

I also find this hard to understand, I am in no way a rich man, and I would never flaunt my wealth as I consider it common and vulgar, but you do get what you pay for.

...only got sliders to put on my leather trousers which WERE new

..incidentally at this moment i am wearing a pair of jeans that my missus got from a boot fair for 50p ....good quality too...although we did wash them first

i personally would not wear them as they look like they have no spine on the back to stop you from snapping your ankle and yes i have had bikes all my life and had a off on my r1 and beleive me your foot is the first bit to dig into the ground ...........and you could have bought a brand new pair of boots for £100 with airflow and spine down the back as i was looking at some the weekend.........

like plenty have said on here you get for what you pay for......
