      @Megatron1505:

      Case in point:

      Whites Bounty Hunters made with a choice of Chromexcel, dress or oiled leather with a huge variety of sole and hardware configurations - £220 plus £50 shipping.

      Red Wing Beckmans - £285

      Why?

      Is this a european thing?  Beckmans are $300 here and widely available.  I wouldn't pay more for Beckman's than Whites, but honestly I'd never even heard about Whites until I started on this forum.

        It might even be specifically a UK thing.

        Even so $300 for Beckmans or $380 to $400 for SD's ?

              RW is going to be a gateway boot for a lot of White's, Wesco, Nick's, OSB, and Viberg owners, I am sure.

              ^ Yes

                  I have to agree.  RW is my trashing around boots.  I tend to baby my Wescos (which I shouldn't be  :-[….)

                            If you're talking about the eradication of heroin users then I could not agree more, come to my hood and I'll show you why. Without context the statement appears meaningless though.

                                It wasn't supposed to make sense, it was a (admittedly bad) joke about gateway drugs!

                                    Don't worry, we'll take care of that all on our own, soon enough, at the rate we're going.
