Hi Firstly apologies if this breaks any commercial rules, it's a genuine request and not an advert! We are in the process of pulling together a review and price comparison site for walking boots (major producers - £100ish+). If you're in the market for a new pair we'd be keen to let you have a go... might save you a few bob in return for some feedback..... Drop me a note if you're interested. Many thanks. Mark.

 We are in the process of pulling together a review and price comparison site for walking boots - Wrote Champo. Only purely for walking boots! Nothing else then?

 I'm up for this. What boots do you have for testing?
|
|
I thought it sounded like we had to be already in the process of shelling out for the boots ourselves! 
|
|
Oh come on Trev, where's the fun in that? They send you boots, you try them out, give them feedback & proff a pair of boots. If they're crap, sell 'em on fleabay.
|

Well, that sounds most lovely then, CB! If a bit too good to be true perhaps! I assume that we don't get to choose the type/style of boot, but just take whatever they give to one then?  Knowing my luck I would end up testing some brightly coloured thing I would hate. Still, beggars as they say cannot be choosers, I suppose.

.jpg) You buy boots, you tell them if you like them, they stick the "review" on their site so that google finds it and directs traffic to the shops who in return gives them a wee backhander for their help. Otherwise known as taking the piss.

That's what I was really afraid it was, in the first off!
|

'might save you a few bob in return for some feedback....' Might not necessarily mean what it says exactly; might it just here, I fear!

I knew there'd be a simple explanation

Hello again I seem to have set some rabbits running.... I'm looking for testers for a price comparison website. Let me know if you're interested. Best regards. Mark.
|
|
Just to be clear - I'm not offering anyone anything for nothing. the site has user reviews and price comparisons. You will have to buy your own boots, the site will try to get you the best price. Many thanks. Mark. That's what he says on the LFTO site.

Too good to be true then...as I think I might have already said. I'm sure now that they're just trying to shoehorn their way into all of our affections now maybe, anyway.

Wow, steady tigers! This was a genuine request..... Clearly someone's spark has lost it's vitality...... Obviously if I did have boots to test you guys would be first choice - you coud wear them whilst you sit and post all day 
|
|
Cheers there, Champo! Glad you realise some of the poking is but merely meant in good jest of fun! Hence the shoehorn reference, of course! I am sure you will find yourself a good few testers from on here somewhere, anyways!

Clearly someone's spark has lost it's vitality...... Wrote Champo. I suggest a Light my Fire Firestarter then! Swedish Firesteel!Even a blastmatch might help you catch a light! Especially if you insist on using such meagre tinder to 'fire-up' your project with there! Ultimate Survival.

Thats right, insult the people you want the information from, that'll really work. Looks like Champo is a bit of a Chumpo.
|
|
I can't really see the incentive much here at all then myself, as it stands as a deal, right now.
|

Champo can you be clear about how your review process works. Do I review my boots, you post on your site, I get paid an amount for the review, or do you send me boots to try, which I review & get paid for? Or is it some other system?
|
|
Or even vote for none of the above, maybe!
