Disclaimer: I've picked up about 15 pairs of Kangaroos over the past year and I must say they have nicer material than most luxury brands. This particular pair, given to an employee of Overkill, is on

Great concept. This pair of Le Coq Sportif 'Made in France' came in a clear-topped wooden box with a can of shoe polish and a brush... This particular pair was graded a 9.9 out of 10 by TSS - what is
