 John, the boots are in Reading. They have both size 11 & 12. They haven't sold a pair yet, so I suspect the price will come down. First seen 02/08/08. I saw a bloke taking a photo of his g/f wearing them; they're such comedy items... Not only do they have a 1" thick (or so) felt insole, but they also have a thick felt, full inner boot with a reflective outer (IIRC). Proper boots for a proper cold Canadian weather. See the original spotting report here, including a link to their website.

Erm... regarding the pictures. Would anyone be interested in pictures? If so, I might ask Jon if we can organise a special gallery open to all, without a personal size limit. Or maybe a 'programmed cell death' so that they get bumped off after a few months, as the items disappear from shops (3 months, perhaps?).

Aha! I've found the Scarpa boots I reported recently. They're the Scarpa Nepal Lady, £80. Googling returns an rrp of about £135, but I've found offers of £100.

 CP, regarding the pictures... it does seem like a good idea. Personally, I don't think I'll be taking photos in TKMaxx for a few reasons. I don't have a camera phone and I would feel more than a bit weird taking in my camera. And I wonder whether their security people might be a bit concerned too. But if you or others wanted to post pics then it seems like a good idea. If this site can't host it, we could always use an external public-use photo host site.

> I would feel more than a bit weird taking in my camera. And I wonder whether their security people might be a bit concerned too. I no longer have any shame, so I whip the camera out, hang items in the light, and take photos. Never been challenged yet. If they complained, I'd just point them to this monster thread and tell them I was providing free advertising for them... either that, or say I was taking photos to show to a friend who I thought would be interested. Security? In TKM? What security? Not enough to stop most knife sets being emptied within a week, leaving empty boxes.

That's true... but then there's not much worth stealing in the average TKMaxx - Especially since your identity/credit information is in the public domain if you shop there... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17871485/

In Swansea Landore - Brasher GTX trainer type boots (very nice) also the gor-tex trainers also nice. Unforunately not my size (10,11), mostly smaller size upto 9/9 1/2 and size 12. about £54.99 I think, rrp around £100.
Not much else really, mostly ski wear arriving, no Berghaus in sight.

 Some Berghaus Windstopper soft-shells and Pro-shell jackets (size S) in Cardiff. £60 and £120 respectively. BUT, the idiots have security-tagged the Pro-shell sleeves, so any buyer gets a nice little puncture in their Gore-tex membrane!

 You expect intelligence in Cardiff, Llywelyn?  Might pop in there tomorrow anyway...
