Need large boots - any army surplus places?

[Wookie]

My boots have finally given up the ghost and are starting to leak, so they need replacing. Anyone recommend anywhere good?
One problem; I've got quite large feet (size 12-14, depending on what day it is and what I'm trying on ) so most places aren't much cop I had a pair of Pro-Boot from Pegasus Militaria a few years ago, but of course they're closed now. Does anyone know an army surplus place fairly local?

This is in Hanley. Or you could just tap up a large squaddie in the street.

Or hang on until 23rd September when the Army PR team rolls into town

6.30pm buffet at the showground

all sizes catered for ( not 100 per cent on the boots tho )

Starting to leak already - possibility of trench foot by then.

Do they do slip ons or at the very least velcro fastening?.......

The Army has gone to hell these days. It is possible to convert to zips and it is surely only a matter of time before they change the supplier to Hush Puppies.

I have feet that are a non-standard size, so footwear is one of the two things I never buy sight unseen.

 

[Gramaisc]

No way am I asking!

I have to know, one bigger than the other, webbed or maybe real wookie feet?=D

 

[Wookie]

Blimey, how to explain...
Basically, they're wider than the average foot and the diagonal distance from the heel to the bridge is quite big, so I need shoes with a wide turning circle. I can need any size between 12 and 14, depending on the design of the shoe.
Buy me a beer and I'll tell you my experiences shopping for New Rocks in Amsterdam. Let's just say I'm glad I had a high tolerance for pain that day.

No mention of extra toes or webs.

The phosphorous from the match factories has left a legacy, I understand.

One final question, are they available in beige?.....

 

[Gramaisc]

Suit you, Sir.

These are rumoured soon to be available in a paisley moquette, from the brand new range - 'Aldershot Camp'.

Mmmm that's more of a midsummer oatmeal camel biscuit with a touch cinnamon fawn......
