Maybe he did a lot of Fred Flintstone style braking with the other boot and wore it out. He now has a good boot that's no good to him. :P

maybe he has a teenage daughter and is left footed and wore the left one out kicking young bucks off the front porch...now there is something I can relate to...I had two teenage daughters, by the time they were away to college I could kick a 165lb twirp from one end of a soccer field and make a goal at the other (two balls instead of one if only slightly bruised)....zing the dad...

check out the shipping charges...15.44 pounds to ship it here...maybe he's doing what all the television people are doing and making his money on "shipping and handling" charges...shoot there are places around the world where you can get folks to handle just about anything for 15 pounds...yikes and away...zp...

Perhaps he is hoping for his first potential customer to say "I am interested in the boot, any idea where I might find one for the other foot". To which he will reply, "It's funny you should ask that as I have one right here and it is only $350 :D :D :D

the thought had occurred to me but if a chap is in a situation to buy just the right and spend 5 pounds on it my guess is he'll wait until the left shows up for similar money regardless if it matches or not...maybe he's going to tap a new market and it will become a new fashion statement to be seen with just one right riding boot...someone will come along and start a new fad where it's the left and the bottom will fall out of the right only jet set crowd...zing cool...
