wrote: Thanks Dennis I can't do the "match the price" thing. In Australia, the cheapest I can get them is $499 or about $US440 plus I have to pay postage from the East coast. I see them in Pineapple Sails for $US295. Like you, I am very concerned about fit and return issues, the reason for my caution. Hoges in WA Personally, if I decided I wanted to spend such an excessive amount for a pair of shoes, there would no problem kicking in a few hundred dollars more to fly to a store and have them properly fitted. You may well find them unsuitable. In a backwards fashion, your concern about shipping costs make me think of somebody who will scour eBay for weeks to get an item for $2.00 instead of $3.00, then pop $35.00 for next-day shipping. At the end, your feet are precious, and if it is only Dubarry Shamrocks that will keep them happy, have those shoes properly fitted. --Vic |
