High Fashion Mountaineering Boots...


RAISED BY WOLVES

Recommended Posts

Doc..

Those are three different versions of exactly what I'm looking for. Are those available state-side or am I gonna have to jump through some fucking hoops?

Probably not available stateside at all. I wasn't able to find much on any of those brands/boots. I think you'll be jumping through hoops and breaking banks to get your hands on any of them.

All of those, along with a bunch for the Russell Mocs I posted, I found here:

Enjoy.

Sent out a quote request for the following shoes:

http://www.j-suplex.com/vol3fw-big/b-boot.htm

and they quoted me for $300 plus shipping. It's a premiere country oxford (http://russellmoccasin.com/shoes_sport_oxford/sport_premiercountryoxford.html), which goes for $228. I had asked for what additional cost to the base price of the shoes would they generally charge, but didn't give me any info besides what's above.

Good stuff, Tim. Wonder if they'd be cheaper if we did a group buy. But that isn't bad - probably cheaper than getting a pair from JP.

I'd like to get another pair of Safari's, or mid-Safari's.

Where did you send your request? I haven't looked on their website - is there more info on there?

I also never noticed the sale list on their site - didn't see anything on there for me, but will be checking back on that.

^^ So you want the boot Red Wing made popular but not the faint imprint that will more then likely be mostly covered by your jeans? I would suggest getting over it, the branding is about as subtle as you can ask for.

In any case I'm not sure who would make a similar boot. Russel does there fair share of moc toes, but nothing quite like that.

Does anyone know Fracap's contact info? I really love thier boots and want to seee if i can order from them and send a foot outline into them for sizing. I think I found thier phone number/fax on a euro whitepages site but I don't speak italian... Might try to send them a shoddy fax in bad italian, but i don't even know if its the right people.

opinions?

def ill. I sent danner an email about getting these in the US... I've only found them in japan and the price is a lot more than domestic prices for mountain lights. No reply as of yesterday but I hope they can get them for me since they are made domestically in oregon.

dude, they have a danners website and you dont need to buy from japanese site so simple

www.danner.com

and its free shipping on all orders in the U.S.

the danners that are being quoted are not available directly from danner either at their factory store or online. they are limited releases made by danner but not sold by them.

the boot that boot is based on is the mountain light II, which you can buy directly from danner.

the tan suede ones look great too... The black boots with those red laces would look even better than with the stock laces IMO.

I'll post up the email if I get one back from danner. If I have to get them from japan, I don't think its gonna be easy at all finding my size (US 11.5/12)... A lot of the stores seem to only carry size 11 at the biggest, usually 10.
