Just like big, warm slippers, straight out of the box.

Looks like a good boot.
I'm looking at new boots to try just now, almost settled on the Garmont TB Extreme GTX but now I'll have to investigate this one

Really beginning to wonder why I thought it was a good idea to get back into vineyards.....( I'm earning 50% more than I was at the butchers is my reasoning )

I thought butchering was going to be a new career? Apprentice and all that.

Couldn't survive on apprentice wages,the work was completely destroying my body,and the politics in shop were terrible. And after becoming a fully qualified butcher after 3 years I could look forward to earning a massive $24/hr. Now I'm earning $30/hr with benefits. I'll never do the butcher thing again.

That's sh1t. Too bad. You must have known the hourly rate before you started?

Hey buddy, under $500. I thought you would be over 21. Thus getting like $19.81 bucks an hour minimum. Which is $750/week
I suggest if you were getting under $500/week as a full time apprentice over 21 years age to contact fairwork Australia to confirm your entitlements and options, as you might have been under paid.
If you are under 21 (saw your picture of the fish), dang you need to get out of the sun... maybe put some ageless serum like revitalift
