    Previous poster is correct, they were called Nature Treks and to my shame I owned a pair. Awful colour weren't they? Ds actually said to me yesterday. "mum, do you think when I'm middle-aged I'll look back and wonder what the hell was I thinking wearing purple skinny jeans?" I assured him he wouldn't as he would just reminisce fondly over the fashion as I did about my teenage fashion choices. So the Nature Trek picture has really bitten me in the a*s and I stand corrected!!!!!:D

    Monkey boots where the best..i have a musician friend who still wears them.
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    If they had the letter R on them then they could have been Rockports?
