same here

maybe if it was color 2
Yeah oddly as much as i like color 8 for almost everything in this particular instance I'd take almost any other shell color they've offered. I feel like I'm gonna regret not picking these up in the future because i don't think we'll see them again but I it's just not calling me the way i thought it would, price is definitely a limiting factor.

I'd like to try Viberg engis, but I dunno if they'd mesh with what I wear and I'm not too keen on importing them

That's a lot to pay for something you don't absolutely love

Not sure why they started off with an incredibly vanilla brown SB but ok

I do really like the videos they're doing now on the product pages. That's a huge improvement over the old color inaccurate photos.

That video justifies all their price increases....
Edit: nvm I thought all SBs start at 750, but the essex family was 730 last season too

Wasn’t it just about a year ago that the standard CXL SBs were $670 from .com? That’s a good 10+% increase.
Yeah they changed over in January. Nothing comes close to the Shell price increases over the course of 2020 though. They just keep inflating and inflating. The Shinki and Horween WSB being 825 is pretty steep too though in fairness, and they just caught the slides and slip-ons up too. I'm worried the slippers/mules will go up too, and just when they started using LH soles on the full range for AW21.
