Since The Bloke first visited the UK he has discovered that its cheaper to buy from Brantanos and post them! He is hard on trainers, and likes good quality Reebok ones. Veyr hard to get his size here and so I stock up for him once a year :lol:

It's not the size that is the worry. Why buy the same shoe here for $180+, when you can get the similar style, type, whatever, sent from the UK for less than half the price.

get them to a friend or relitives house in England and send them to here....

I recently posted a motor bike exhaust out for a friend in Sydney using these in a box which would fit mabey 8-10 pairs in it for only £46 and it arrived within 4days !!
