What leather option might that be monday?

[Lucifer]

Hmm, is that the semi dress? I  just love the shape of that boot.

red dog rough out

[thomasnunnally]

Agreed.  Monday, thanks for posting those.

Its not a semi dress.  Semi dress only has 6 holes or 4 holes and 2 hooks

[Omega Man]

How much do they roughly cost?  Any suggestions on size if i wear 8.5 in Red Wing and I am a US 9?

Bakers will ask you to draw around your foot and scan it and email them the scan.  They will tell you what size you need

Same size as your Red Wings, those boots look like Bounty Hunters with a few mods.

some different sort of make-ups as opposed to what i usually see

White's are crazily expensive in the Japanese market. You can get the same boots from buildaboot.com for almost 1/3 the price. Gosh..

[madmonday]

supply & demand 

& the cost of shipping to Japan & all the hands in the pot will cause the prices to go up.

Sounds good, what sole are you going for Lucifer?

[dave]

I'd go for the black horse to be honest, but it would put the price at about 525.  I do like the CXL, though.

EDIT:  Nevermind, it would probably still be under 500 for horse with pull loops.

I think I'll go with one of the "lighter" vibram soles.

Another question:

Anyone know how long their production times are? I'm going to US in july/august (roadtrip.. ) so picking those up would be grand (we have a 25 % import tax here in Norway..).

They told me 5-7 weeks
