Returned from a Ten day safari in South Africa using my Courtney selous boots. Before the hunt I wore them at work for 2 weeks to break them in, I work as a high voltage linemen and we are hard on boots so two weeks was plenty of a break in period. Absolutely loved the boots but halfway through my hunt the right boot insole started to slide up to the point it was only halfway on my foot. About 10 times a day I would have to take my shoe off and reposition the insole. Upon returning from my hunt I threw the insoles away. Has anyone had the same issue or can recommend different insole for the boots?
 
I use powerstep insoles in all of my boots to include my Courtneys. Depending on amount of use, even the best insoles last 6 months to a year max.
 
Agreed. A good gel insole with some heel location makes a huge difference with Courteneys.
 
Started out using the Courtney insoles with my Selous. Was too warm for me, as I use them to hunt dove here in S. Texas as well. Ditched the insoles several years ago and went with the hard leather bottom. Took a while to get used to it but really comfortable now. Cool and lots of room.

Not waterproof, however.

I do the same with my Safari’s.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
