Cool video... What would the pricing be on the GYW sneakers?
Not cheap.

So at Naked is looking at around 575 USD but we need to price in the spare sets of Margom soles as well.

Full price
Also, for reference @ArchibaldRoh , if I am 42 in the sneakers with a foot length of about ~26.7mm and a slightly wide ball, would I be a 42 in the Hand Welted or a 41.5?

Tough to say, how does the 42 feel? Is there space up top? I wear 42's and a 41.5 hw but the 42s are big for me. The 41s work and i can wiggle my toes but they feel tight.

So on a related note, I just got my green sneakers in, and the 39 fits fine but I wouldn't want them any smaller.
Same size in the dress shoe? Or size up?

All about the length here... if you could do with some length on a dress shoe given its not as wide as sneakers then i'd go a half size up.

in the list going up there is this beautiful Anticato Burgundy HW-01, flawless that someone cancelled because they were late.

There is probably about 0.5" in front of my toes, feels fine. Maybe a bit of heel slip, but think that is due to the low profile of the heel cup in the SF-01s. Right foot is smaller slightly. The 28cm insole seems to work well, but may need a touch less

Sounds like you are a 41.5 then.

This does not include whatever duties will be charged on arrival.

As I know if the product is made in the UK or EU, there are no customs duties for EU shipments (statement of origin is required on the customs form).

your problem is never duty, its always VAT or IVA and then whatever nonsense administrative fee the post office or courier charge to claim it from you - a total jarr.

Yes, destination country's VAT is applicable (and UK VAT isn't), but you mentioned duties.
edit: admin fee is an extra (some sellers pay that in advance for DDP)

yup so when we price it up for European customers we will not be including the destination VAT nor the admin charges. All subsequent charges are not included which is why I am pricing them in USD... clean and free.
