yea its not the tag bit but the actual zip thats seperating! the old one came appart and ive had a new one fitted over the weekend. Pulled it on tonight and its bust in 2 and is shagged. Well annoyed and dont want to spend another 25 quid for it to happen again.

spoke to the chap who said the zip was identical to the tcx one (it wasnt it was like a trouser zip ffs) he then just ripped the one he had fitted out and handed me my boot back with all the insides unstitched. So dropped it in at timpsons who have said they are a shower of proverbial and will attempt to put their work right in a week or so!

so dont touch cravens in huddersfield (market) with a bargepole if you want it doing right!
