    Hey, I've been looking and shopping around for a pair of boots to buy myself and as i'm still of that age they have to look good aswell as give me good protection so the "Puma 1000 v2" have caught my eye and just wondered if anyone here has/had a pair and what they thought of them?? I'm open to any recommendations on boots aswell. Thanks

Any one got any helps? or know where i can get a decent one cheap? :D Cheers.
