There is a Sporting Goods Store in Harare run by 2 Greek brothers. They have a good selection of Courteny boots.

However here is a funny story...

On my Second Safari my Videographer took me to this store.

I tried on a few pair of boots and found a air I liked. The price was $85 US if I remember correctly.

When I tried to give one of the Greeks $85 US he had a Walleyed fit.

He said he could not take any Forex [non Zim money] as he was under investigation for same....

So my Videographer called everybody he knew to see of they had $85 US in Zim Dollars...

No one had that many Zim dollars on hand.

At that time the biggest Zim bill was 20,000 Zim, and 85 dollars US was around 15 Million Zim .

So I left the store without the boots....

Now that you can use US dollars legally in Zim you should not have a problem...

Not in HRE, but if you happen to be on the Save Conservancy, I hear the Duckworths have them at Makore.

I have been in the brothers shop quite a few times. This was back in 2005. I bought a pair of Courtney Safari boots and a safari shirt all for $100US. Back then they wouldn't take anything but USD.

That is probably what got them in trouble...

The reason I did not get my boots is all your fault...

Hunters Paradise, Newlands shopping centre Harare. Toni Panis will sort you out. His brother unfortunatley passed away a few months ago

I did offer them Zim $ but they didn't want it. I think it was because they would have needed one hell of a big safe to hold all the Zim notes . In 2005 the biggest note was $20,000ZD and i think the boots were on sale at $5000000ZD. I think a bottle of Castle lager back then was just under $20,000ZD.

I am sorry you did not get your boots because of me!!

I bought my first ever pair of Courtney's at Hunters Paradise. Its a great shop.
