Rm cutting costs? If they were made for the memebers sale I wouldn’t be surprised if they were made cheaper anyway.
I've had a couple of pairs with 1/4 lining rather than the full lining. They were older pairs though. Only difference was they seemed to wear in a bit better.
Interesting. I've owned a few pairs of both standard and comfort from 2011 up to last month and those were the only ones with the 1/4 lining. Seems unusual to reward your members by giving them cut cost boots... I wonder if there's some story there, in any case they aren't doing it to the current lineup.
