      Picked up a pair up Red Wings today at one of their retail locations. These are the 2440 model the Traction Tred Lite. I’m going to wear them inside for a little bit before deciding on them. I may want to go up a size. The real question is… to cuff or not to cuff

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

                https://speedwaysendai.com/collections/john-lofgren-bootmaker/products/lk-004-roughout

                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!

                    @Heavy_blue maybe I'll just fly out to Japan and buy in person...

                    two pairs and the flights will pay for themselves 😆

                        @T4920 i know nothing about import fees but can share an experience. I paid import fees on lofgrens that were purchased from a store in Canada while I'm in the United States. I paid $40 in import fees

                          @marco23d thanks for the info! In all seriousness I'm genuine considering taking my next vacation to Japan with boots as an alterior motive ahaha... I've been once before but didn't go to Tokyo, seems like a nice excuse to revisit this beautiful country 👀

                              @marco23d thanks for sharing this — I’ve never been charged duty but wondered what it’d be. $40 isn’t nothing, but I’d previously worried it might be a lot worse.

                                I got my Lofgrens from Speedway and don’t recall having paid duty.

                                  My two pairs of Yuketen Alan boots handmade in Mexico, one in khaki calf suede and the other in black calf, with Chicken. Two more months of wearing these exclusively for the Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome.
