hey @sforum1,

I apologize for calling you out on the pinnacle. I let my hair down, no worries.

Well explained! I feel exactly the same.
EG is indeed pinnacle of machine-made shoes but insanely overpriced (same as JL GG) with current mark-up factor approaching 6.

neverthteless, it was in the middle of a heated debate with @benjamin831 , who initially questioned the price/value ratio of EG. I can see his points, but they might be abandoned in an appreciation thread. carry on.

Would love to know what you mean and where you get the number 6.

As far as the shoe industry is concerned 6x mark up from manufacturing cost is pretty standard for wholesale & retail models
