Maybe there's a silver lining for the end of the MTO program….  Getting rid of all that inefficiency should lead to lower prices right?

[Chris]

Right.  That's exactly what will happen.

Excellent point, tigerpac…

My impression is that customer single pair made to order boots are dead, but Giles/Iron Heart collaborations, as well as collaborations with other retailers, will continue.  Giles has always said he needs at least 4 orders to get Viberg to do a custom build; Guy's post seems to imply that Viberg needs to make multiple pairs of a configuration to compensate for the effort of shutting down the line,  recalibrating their machines, switching out materials, resetting tolerances, etc.  A minimum order for a retailer should still be worthwhile.  I wouldn't be surprised if the minimum order goes up to something like 10 pairs instead of 4, though.

But that's just my guess…
