If there is anyone unfortunate enough to have to wear these that has found a brand that actually resembles a foot, ie not heavily sewn square cut toe ends. I am talking about the heavy versions for daily wear, not after operation or airplane versions. thanks

The ride is good on good roads but on poor quality roads there can be quite a lot of up and down movement at the rear of the ute. I know I can fit heavi...
