If you feel like paying OTA, HB from HK has a good selection of the new stuff:

I wouldn't suggest it unless desperate.

nameness, you did me very proud!!! And I have been eyeing up those Lauda Kiowa Folk's for a while as well…

[nameness]

Check with Union, they had larger sizes last time I talked to them…  just be ready to pay retail.  If you find 'em in 9.5, lemme know!

Yeah I saw that. Just have to wait it out for my day in the sun. Looks like you grabbed your pair thanks to aki! Let's see some flicks…

I wear either cp or visvim logan lo most days.  I take a size 42 in cp and 9 in the Logan lo, if anyone needs a size comparison.

I was surprised to see that the visvims were made in china and were glued instead of stitched. Also, the glue job seemed a bit sloppy.  I haven't worn them enough yet to test their long term quality.  Otherwise, I really like them.

I would like a pair of kiefers but the retail price is way too high. I'll be in la in a few days so I may have to have a look at them though.

I await you analysis Dr. P!

Yupyup, they appear to manufacture in China, Korea, and Japan.  They're making a bit bigger deal out of the Japanese (assembled at least) models this season.

Have fun molesting the Kiefers.

[aki]

I own few pairs or visvim shoes but the earlier launched shoes are mostly made in Korea and the quality is been good. It does not fall apart when I wear them again after putting aside for maybe around 1 year or more. I have to agree the price shoot up quite a lot till I have to stop buying their shoes as they are going over-priced.

Good to know - NEXT!..

[nameness]

Yeah, the prices are the prices.  I think there was a recent post on SuFu pointing out pricing from a few years back and what they are now with some mention of the decline of the dollar for us poor Americans.  The increase isn't actually much.

I mean, honestly, they're a luxury brand just like other brands some of us are into.  Either you're into it and you'll shell out or you won't.

Dude has steez and makes his own clothes look good.

Got the Laudas today, they're sick.  Will try to take some pics later.

DAMN!!!

[nameness]

Super quick shipping, plus one for Concept Shop.

Got something else too ;).  More pics later this week mayhaps, waiting on something else.

[rocket]

def wanna see pics, enjoy them!

[nameness]

The leather is actually really thick and pretty stiff.  Was kind of surprised (in a good way).  The leather wraparound laces and the texture of the sole are nice touches.  While they're not mass appealing they're definitely unique and I'm glad I snagged 'em.  I think they will start to look even better once worn-in.

Oh man those are nice!!! KUDOS!
