Show us your boots

@popvulture yeah they’re super nice & the mid height is a fun change up. I thought the steel toe cap would be tricky but that turned out to be kinda fun too. My only qualm might be the mid cut height has been brutal on my ankles, but it seems to be lessening with wear.

Ha yeah the taps definitely throw me off a little. Mine really only really clack on stuff like 10% of the time, but when they do I usually get startled

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot I really love these! Man, I need to move out of my comfort zone and try DP boots one day. Congrats on a beauty.
These from Lost and Found? Did you get the same size as your M43s?
-
@stichdown-shell thanks, dude! I snagged these from Brooklyn in Calgary - same size as my M-43’s and Ludlows. The Ludlows use the same 120 last, but they definitely weren’t this comfortable right from the off. The M-43’s were the only ones I got to try on in person before purchase, which is kinda nuts when I think about it…. Very pleased I sprung for these Punchers

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thanks, man. I'm going to do some research on them. It's the same last as my other JLB Combats, so I know what size will fit.
But I need to slow down my spending habits, especially my boots. Wish me luck.
Man, these are sweet!

Is buying boots directly from directly Japan worthwhile when you take into considering tax/import fees?

I've wanted this pair of Lofgrens for a while now, but couldn't bring myself to drop the £830 asking price on the EU store... but after conversion from JPY they come out at around £570 from the Japanese store...
Am I being massively naïve in assuming I'd save money buying them from Japan? Have never really bought from overseas before, so am a little unsure as to how badly I'd get hit with additional fees...

@T4920 you could contact the store of they can lower the value on the box so you pay less import fees and taxes.. otherwise in the end the price will be around the same, at least that’s my experience!
