Im fairly sure in the UK and Ireland leather is a waste product. Certainly where I take my animals for butchery they have to pay to dispose of the skins.
Im confused now. I'd really like one original black or gum/ brown, as I have one of each. Has anyone tried the dia compe? Don't like the cane creek but maybe they were for the other size of lever( which looks exactly the same size to me...)
They look nice but don't your feet get wet through the holes? They more like a 10.5 or an 11?
