[pct-l] Sundowner boots

[Jack Richardson]

vera,

I have a love-hate feeling about them. I used them for my '01 AT  
thru. There was no break-in time and I did not get blisters; however  
the soles kept caming off the boots.  I was told they were  
manufactured in Italy and there was a single time production run  
problem (glue). They did replace them but the aggravation took its  
toll on me.
