Message: Just ordered my Raglans and anxiously await their arrival. Here\'s how I learned about your shop. Recently, a dear surfer friend showed me his beat-up, loved-to-the-max Raglans and described how he found them at this odd surf shop in NZ while he was bike touring and surfing there. This was about 1980. He waxed on about the shoes, which were obviously superb, even as they had hit the end of their road, and made me want a pair. We both struggle with sweaty feet and covet the >>perfect<< all-leather shoe. But, he didn\'t think they could be found anymore, at least not of that quality. A little \"surfing\" proved him happily incorrect! So, 30+ years down the pipe and you have a new customer and I\'m updating my friend, also, so you\'ll still have the old one! Maybe I\'ll visit Raglan someday in my Raglans and relive the original discovery! Cheers...

Your design on the boots that you sent me is brilliant. A very clever lacing system, and aesthetically pleasing to both the eye and the touch. Its one of those things that just feels good to do when pulling them tight...
