Forget the Wallabies or Socceroos, NZ is set to be taken over by an army of Mack Boots that are tougher than an All-Black Forward pack.

Having just left Sydney, the 40-foot container packed to the rafters with premium Mack Boots left the company’s depot at the end of April and should be stepping down in the Land of the Long White Cloud as you are reading this.

According to Mack Boots General Manager Grant Tuckett, it’s “high time that Kiwi workers were given the opportunity to get their feet into the legendary Mack Boots footwear range”.

The range which includes the likes of Bulldog, Blast, Stirling, Turbo and Boost “will find a ready-made home in New Zealand”, said Mr Tuckett.
