Same size as your Red Wings, those boots look like Bounty Hunters with a few mods.

sorry, grabbed that boot from here:

some different sort of make-ups as opposed to what i usually see

[ronaldlsh]

White's are crazily expensive in the Japanese market. You can get the same boots from buildaboot.com for almost 1/3 the price. Gosh..

[madmonday]

supply & demand 

& the cost of shipping to Japan & all the hands in the pot will cause the prices to go up.

Sounds good, what sole are you going for Lucifer?

[dave]

I'd go for the black horse to be honest, but it would put the price at about 525.  I do like the CXL, though.

EDIT:  Nevermind, it would probably still be under 500 for horse with pull loops.

I think I'll go with one of the "lighter" vibram soles.

Another question:

Anyone know how long their production times are? I'm going to US in july/august (roadtrip.. ) so picking those up would be grand (we have a 25 % import tax here in Norway..).

They told me 5-7 weeks

[dave]

How long ago did they tell you the lead time?  My two pairs shipped between 3 and 6 weeks if I can remember back that far, but it's the busy season right now.  I ordered a pair of brown horse on the 22nd about 5 minutes after they announced its availability on the facebook.

I put my order in 2 weeks ago

@MastersOfDeath:

damn my large feet (UK 10 and wiiiide)

Talking to Whites about copping 20 pair of these…...

G, did this go anywhere? Thinking of going for some new SD's, rather than a rebuild now, if you're stocking them we could be in business.

[Jordan23]

That would be nice!I am also interested.

[Giles]

Yes, I am still working stuff out with them….G

[Megatron1505]

Will you be ordering a standard model, or will there be the option for a custom order ?

[Giles]

I am talking standard model/s atm, but once I get that squared away, customs may be an option….

damned!  :o

For some reason I have started obsessing about getting some SD's with a double midsole, a Vibram 430 sole, and a plain cap toe in full black semi dress leather, with natural edging. My obsessions never end well for my bank balance
