  1. My latest purchase that I am undoubtedly bound to plug to anybody I talk to is my new PF Flyers shoes. PF, for Posture Foundation, is a company owned by New Balance, and has been around longer than I have been alive, which surprised me as the first I heard of them was when I was trying on a pair at Rebel Rebel boutique in Victoria, BC(My hometown.)

    The first thing that struck me was the insole: its designed to correct posture, and as such has a delightful balance of support and cushioning. They are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, comfier than Crocs(Which are akin to the Chernobyl of fashion) and suprisingly enough comfier than my Aesics with Gel soles.

    I wouldn't be so surprised at how comfortable the shoes are, except that they aren't bad looking at ALL. In fact, my pair, although an odd color pairing, are getting more wear than my Air Max 90s, my Alife slip ons, and my Adidas Kingston Sheltoes combines, and those use to be my 3 favorite pairs of shoes.

    If you've never heard of PF Flyers, like I hadn't until about a week or two ago, I strongly urge you to seek out a pair to try on. I will bet money that you will be impressed with how comfortable they are, and the price point is quite reasonable($130>)

    Here are a few pics of them that I snagged off of the official site(don't worry I'm not leeching them)

    for reference, the pair I bought were these:

    hehe apparently waffleimages is a no-no so i went with imageshack

  2. I bought directly from the APC site and I live in Canada. Alberta to be exact. Customs/duty came out to $16 to $18 CAD extra on top of the jeans + shipping. I thought they would slip in a catalogue with my order, but didn't get one when I got the jeans.

    I live in Victoria BC and I opted for the 22$ shipping option... I really hope I don't have to pay another $20 on top of that :(

    Also, how did you have to pay the custom? Did the post office phone you, or did it get delivered with an additional bill?

    I don't want to have my jeans sit at the post office for more than is necessary, I want them nooooowwwww.

  3. I just ordered my first pair of APCs, the only truly nice pair of raw denim I've purchased, the other "nice" jeans I've bought have been Hugo Boss black square black denim, and a pair of CM thins. Since none of the online retailers I can get a 1st time customer discount at had them in stock, and Blackbird in WA didn't have the correct size, I was forced to order directly from the APC site in France.

    My question is: Has anybody here bought directly from the APC site, and if they have(And live in Canada) how much custom/duty can I expect to be charged by USPS for Global Express shipping? I only ordered one pair, but since I'm a first time customer I think they're going to be sending me a catalogue as well.
