just bought a pair of these off ebay and they dont seem 'right' on one boot the lower, longer strap is a lot longer and has less holes in it?? And the sheepskin in one is all thin and tatty compared to the plush sheepskin in the other. is there some sort of marking on them apart from the 'r' that proves they are a genuine item?
I do not have experience of Rhinegold boots. Bought a Rhinegold rug once and was not very impressed with that either. Seems a common theme emerging here!
