Passed my test, celebrate!

[otherwise]

Well boys, (girls look away now) I got the results for my PSA blood test, also my doctor and I now have a special relationship , the old finger up the not to be mentioned area. Happy to report all's OK.
It looks like I may be around for a while so I decided to lash out in a little celebration. I've got a thing about boots and always fancied a pair of Top Boots so being a fan of my elastic side RM Williams boots stuck with the local product.

These are called "The Executive" silly price but I'm happy.



I've had these "Craftsman's" for about 8 years.



And I've had these "Craftsmen's" for about 12 years.



They actually look a lot better on than those photos show, they are very very comfortable.

So if you are 50 or over get out and have the PSA test every year and every second year smile and wink at your doctor

Have the full test every year it is a must.

Those boots still look in very good condition for being 8 years old, like the new ons very nice as well. I use safety boots heavy but well worth it. I still have a few boxes that I have not even opened yet so I a good for a few years still

My former employer supplied motorcycle boots for the outdoor staff so I also still have a stash .

 

[CarlS]

I had the old finger wave today as well, my annual physical. I am happy to report all is well.

I like your new boots. I am most definitely a boots person.

 

[DaveM]

Kevin those look very nice my ones are move like your 8 year old style but with the thick laces up the front with studs. These ones

So that's 3 out of 3 telling the rest of you blokes to get out and get tested.
My doctor said, "As long as you don't like it I'll keep testing you".

Some on that page look real good. I don't have to worry about OH&S these days so the steel caps are a no no. They didn't make us ride with steel but indoor staff had to use the caps.

 

[DaveM]

Every time they ask if anyone needs boots I say yes please

Those "Craftsman" boots look like "Beatle boots" of the early '60s!

You forget it still is the early 60's in Australia.

RM Williams was an icon in Australia and his company is still going strong supplying high quality boots, clothing and equestrian accessories to country people and trendy city types. Craftsman boots cost $390, you can have them made to order from Ostrich leather starting from $2,000. My new Executives were $780, clearly not a throw away product but very comfortable and durable.
They tell me that Ringo Star is still on his first pair.

Great boots. All of them.

The thing about having that test is to make sure only ONE of the Doctor's hands is on your shoulder.

We're having a very wet summer. Temperature is good but so much rain.

The Chelsae boot looks very similar, the RM's are made from one piece of leather, only one join, up the back. We can get a similar boot to the Chelsae from budget outlets for about $25. Elastic side boots are popuar in Australia because we have difficulty with complex taske like tying shoe laces.

Well, I wear Roper brand shoes and boots. They are excellent barn shoes....slip-on, waterproof, good traction in muck or snow, and extremely comfortable:
