I`ll second that ;) My boy`s well pleased with his - used my eBay account to get them
watch out when u buy a pair on e bay, i was bidding on a pair of so called marshalltown 1s in the photo only one stilt had the mt sticker on but he asured me they were mt, i won them for about £90+ £10 delivery when they arrived i checked them over to find a sur end cap on the stilts and sur serial numbers they were being passed off as marshalltown, i had to get paypal involved i gave them a choice a full refund or half refund and i keep the stilts and they went with the later, claiming they new nothing about it and blamed the person that sold the stilts to them, the stilts were in good nick hardly used so i ended up paying only £50 for them and i reckon there lots better than the mt2s as the old style you can adjust more to fit your legs and the mt2s have only ajustment up and down and that spring on them looks more like it should be on a mountain bike, and you have got to have it on springy as it feels like you are walking through treacle ive set the cheaper pair up just as i like em and are lots more easy on the leg than the mt2s also the mt2s have a different walking style altogether i just thought i would post this in case any of you are thinking of getting a pair

edit i must admit i use ebay all the time and have only been disapointed or misled twice
 
i must admit steve i did look at the mt2s for quite a while but always found myself favouring the 1s there was just summit about the 2s that i cuddnt get to grips with, by the was has anyone seen or used the clarke stilts they hae exactly the same set up as the mt1s but are just painted black (which i know its not a fasion show but they look nice) and are only about 110 quid brand spanking new.
Any thoughts?

well ive just googled them they wont be much different to the others tbh, you see what happened was dura stilts had the patent on that design and patents only last for so long, after it runs out then anyone can jump on board thats why you have mt, faifull, draper, clarke, ulka, sur, ect, thats what ive been told by a shop that sell them anyway, and also that they are made in the same factory as well lol
