I was thinking that I am sorta writing long reviews (longer for the readers!!) and just came across woodland in the review wanted section. Now, this is bound to be a brief review as we guys are not used to hyping things which are real good. Give them a bit of a fault and here goes 20 pages of reviews!!
Anyway, I got my first woodland pair (a boat shoe) back about 5 yrs ago and believe me, they are still lying in my shoe rack! The sole is as good as new and the leather does’nt weather! (What is that supposed to mean??)
Wore it while mountaineering (Was more of a hillock though!), on water, played football with it, wore it on cement badminton courts!(Hey, thats not what I usually do, it just sorta happened!) and still the shoe is so good. The best part about this is the inner sole which is made out of some other treated form of leather and is truly comfortable with or even without socks. The best part is that it can just be slipped on and we dont need to undo the laces each time we wear it or take it off! The only reason this pair of shoes is lying in the rack is that I got soooooo frustrated by wearing it, I mean, so fed up of the same pair of shoe, day in and day out that I decided to give it a bit of a rest and got myself a new pair of -- no prizes for guessing, woodland again. If any of you out there are worrying about the price, take it fellas, in the long run, it’ll save a lot and your feet also will thank you for it..

Another piece of advice, when you go into your nearest woodland store, you are bound to notice quite a few other things also apart from shoes such as apparel, other leather items, caps, socks etc etc. Hey, u went in to buy shoes, pick up your pair and DONT touch anything else!
I wonder if this can be shortened still!
