Fucking jesus christ holy hell, there is no legitimate reason why I should pay 400+$ for a pair of boots. I could sooner buy a fucking CNC mill, leather, and rubber sole, stich the fucker together and still undercut the price. Get the fuck out.
EchosolaceFind me a CNC mill capable of, (also enough leather), to make a boot for under $500.
Never mind the sole and thread and lace eyes, and what everyone else has said.
