Visvim
-
Can someone please explain to me what makes Visvim so special that the price of these can be justified at $500+ dollars? I'm not trying to knock Visvim by any means and it may just be a case that I have never seen this or many of their other shoes in person, but this price for a sneaker is just insane to me. Any insight would be appreciated. (I'm also curious why their jackets are $1k+ as well)

L, did you end up keeping your Virgils?
Yup. Currently have the following pairs: Virgil Moc Toe, Grizzly Boots, Keifer, Hockney.

Every pair of Visvim that I've owned has been made in Korea, not sure where they are made these days though. Wherever it is should not be a reflection of the quality, as Visvim are top notch.

Finally found a pair of black virgils in US8
Seller didn't double box it and taped the box as it so box is kind of ruined from me taking off the tape but i don't plan to sell these so i don't mind much.
If anyone can do a legit check that'd be great since these are my 1st pair of virgils but they look ok to me -
Damn. Those are seriously sick…..great choice !

Congrats! I still need a pair of Black Virgils in US11 and preferably not Suede but I would not be opposed either…

Hey lando, what size are your grizzly boots? How does it compare to your red wing size?
I'm thinking of getting a pair but am not sure yet about the size, because I wear a size 8.5 rw, and i wear size 10 in virgil folks..
Same exact size as my RW. US11. Same as all of my Visvim (excluding) Hockney which are US12 but should be US 11). You could prob do a 9 and wear thick socks.

Without taking it personally, or getting overly offended, could someone explain to me why visvim footwear fetches as much as it does when the majority of these pieces are made in China? ( I know, I know, tired argument. But, I'd rather hear some opinions on the issue here by some people who I believe will come about it rationally than at, say, another forum where such a question will likely encounter passive aggressive retorts or all-out visvim bashing.)

I've been looking to snag some kiefers for a while now, but I have no clue how to. What do you guys think would be my best bet? I'm just looking for some black ones…nothing too crazy...
