Quality used and reconditioned winter footwear
PLEASE NOTE: BOB WILL BE AWAY FROM SEPTEMBER 8-23 IN THE MOUNTAINS OF GUATEMALA COLLECTING INSECTS (HIS REAL JOB). WE WILL BE CLOSED DURING THIS TIME. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ITEMS OR THEY HAVE NOT ARRIVED HE WILL DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY UPON HIS RETURN. ALL ITEMS PAID FOR HAVE BEEN SHIPPED OUT SO ANY DELAYS ARE IN THE POSTAL SYSTEM!! THANKS.
It is now September 1, 2008 and our stores are open for the season with a great new selection of more quality winter wear. Thanks again to all who have come back year after year and for those new buyers, welcome!!
This coming year we will start to use the shipping calculator to get exact shipping costs for buyers. There are no handling fees. Remember, we combine shipping (and it usually works out to a few dollars per additional item in the same box), we will take special requests and will do our best to make sure you are satisfied. If you are looking for special items or need to buy boots immediately, please email us. We'll be happy to work with you to get the boots you need. Thanks again to everyone for a fantastic 2007-8; we sold over 700 pairs of boots with unsurpassed customer satisfaction and 100% positive feedback (except some idiot who was not home for his deliveries and blamed us!!), achievements we are really proud of.
Hi there...we are Bob and Catherine Anderson of Ontario, Canada and we sell used, high quality, Canadian-made winter and all-weather footwear. Along with our two kids, Eric and Jessie, we're honest and fair people who will attempt to provide you with the best quality boots we can find. Bob is an entomologist by profession (see http://llama.evergreen.edu/ for his latest projects and www.nature.ca for his professional activities) and Catherine a homemaker (and retired hairdresser) so this business venture is in addition to our real jobs.
A note about our boots
Our boots are bought by us from many charitable organizations and in many places throughout southern Ontario and Quebec. We personally examine hundreds of boots each month but only select the highest quality for resale. We firmly believe that we are providing a good recycled product and hope you feel the same way. Most of our boots are the 'original' Sorel brand, made by the Kauffman Company of southern Ontario (Canada), not the 'new' Sorels made by Columbia Sportswear of Oregon. We have over 800 pairs of boots in stock and are always adding more. Email us with special requests.
All of our boots are used but are fully cleaned and reconditioned by us before we sell them to you. Our feedback is perfect and we have many repeat buyers who now buy all of their boots from us.
Occassionally you will see us buying or selling hockey jerseys, antique carnival glass, other antiques (our hobbies), or audio books (great for travelling).
