Paying $300 more for an item that looks nearly identical to what everyone else is wearing just so you can have the smug satisfaction of knowing that your item isn't technically and actually the same is peak StyleForum.
Could be worse, you could pay thousands for something and have it sit for decades unworn!

I dunno man, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that quick.
I have the 550s cuz I wanted the nicer lining, which are $200 + shipping. Gardeners are widely available for $330 shipped. So definitely more expensive, but not $300 more.
RMW have superior leather quality inside and out and are resoleable (not that I will actually take advantage of this since I don't wear out any of my shoes). Nice to have. The RMW profile is not as bulbous, and is a bit sleeker, so it's a nice option when you don't wanna look like you're about to start gardening. For me, the Gardener sole is actually more comfortable, and because they're sleeker, easier to drive in and wear with a larger variety of outfits.
Take a cheap shot if you want, but for others reading, it's not about the vanity of brand. It's a better shoe in every way.
I'm a little cautious about buying French...
I have a friend who wears blundstones but they only last him about a year before the sole separates to an unwearable point. Is this the norm for those of you who wear them or does he just wear them particularly hard?
Did the import duty threshold for the US change? I remember it being $800 and I ordered a coat from the UK that ended up being $750 and I just got a notice from UPS that they are charging me duties.
Actually the store forgot to subtract a discount on the customs invoice that brought it under the threshold. I sent an email with copies of the receipt and PayPal charge and UPS struck the fees (which were 33% of the price!!!). Was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they responded.
Per my recent purchase I’m literally going green. Need some tops
