  1. since winter season is approaching, any recommendations for winter boots? looking to stay as dry as possible after walking through snow/shoveling snow. up until now i've worn sneakers in the winter and would like to avoid that this year. 

  2. This isn't a new thing though is it? How much did the J47A, J27 etc costs you in import duties if you don't mind me asking?

     

    Yeah it's normal. I was charged $400 in duties for the J47GT. Might as well just wait for someone to sell on Grailed. Alternative is Haven, but their markup is way higher than anyone else. 

  3. I think it is because a lot of kids jumped on acronym or generally techwear recently and they just don't know what to do with that kind of jacket (shell). I got it too, it's great jacket.

     

    Or selling because they want to pick up the J1A.

  4. It's not just u, my pair does that too. The spot where they join the leather and the material in the back is directly beneath my ankle bone, and the way they're joined causes a raised area that scrapes the shit out of you. Very annoying...

    As long as you wear socks it's ok, but seems like an incredibly poor design decision. The way the zipper is located and bends when your foot is in it require two hands to push it together and sometimes it catches on a small spot of leather beneath the lower half of the zipper. For such a nice shoe, these details start to ruin it. I'm wondering if they were rushed a bit more than the typical acronym product, as far as moving from initial design to finished product.

    Outside of that, they obviously are very eye catching (white/red) and I get tons of comments and questions. They have their time and place.

     

    Apologies for bringing up old posts, but this is very true. Walked outside for 10 minutes in these (wearing thin high cut socks) and got a cut/bleeding. Thick socks might help otherwise they're unwearable. 

  5. Apparat owners: 

    Anyone having difficulty with the ankle straps? The left strap is "loose" in that it won't properly tighten around my ankle. When I latch it on to the button, the strap oddly sticks out and doesn't stay flat against the pant like the right strap and almost always gets untightened on its own.  

    Thanks!
