At risk of sounding like a cheap ass, why is the SF MTO (natty CXL specifically) more expensive compared to Viberg's standard CXL offerings? I would think that a group buy would lower the cost some. Also, does anyone wanna spitball a price estimate of the natty CXL's coming to Mr. P? Time isn't an issue so if there's a better deal out there I'd be happy to wait.

Also, they have said that the derby takes more work to make than boots.

Right, but 55 dollars worth? Natty preorder is $765.

Just looking for someone to convince me that the preorder is a good deal. Or at least better than waiting for Mr. Porter's model.

Sorry for the confusion, I'm talking about the service boots.

Honestly, I was kind of surprised by the price as well. I was expecting them to fall under $700 easily.

We have to pay shippingx2, and the shipping is averaged out for all buyers, which comes out to about $45. Shipping to us from Viberg is about $20-25, depending on the quantity ordered. For overseas buyers, the Styleforum program comes out about $20 cheaper than Viberg for the same boots, and between $100 and $200 less than the same models at Europe stores (even more in Japan and China and Singapore). For domestic, it's slightly higher, about $20.

Gladly pay $20 to support SF and this program

Really like that brown CXL derby. I understand that the 1035 is similar to the 2030. The only Viberg I own is a derby in 2045, and my size 9 is about 1/4 - 1/2 size large. Fair to say I should go with a 9 in the 1035?

Also, someone please correct me if I'm wrong in assuming that I shouldn't be charged any duties on a Canadian-made product coming to the US.

It depends on the type of socks that you plan on wearing with them. For the 2045 I find that it fits looser simply because it's wider than the 2030 but I wear the same size. I have boots in 2030/1035 in size 8.5 that I wear with medium weight socks, but I went with an 8 for a pair of derbies and they fit great with thinner socks.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd definitely prefer to wear thinner socks with the derbies. My main issue is with my high instep. Since CXL is known for its stretch I'm thinking I might size down 1/2 size on these unless someone talks me out of it.

I sent off an email to Viberg just now but I'm not sure if they'll get back to me before I get itchy and pull the trigger.

I am seriously tempted by the derby in Latigo leather to see if the leather is thinner than the CXL from the MTO that just arrived. $665 includes express FedEx shipping.

Thanks, but we are committed to the fairest pricing, so I will be lowering the price of ALL the makeups by $20, which means that shipped, our prices, even domestically, are the same as at viberg.com, domestically, and lower, for overseas customers. For example, the CXL boots with dainite soles and a captoe (which is an upcharge) on Viberg's site is $720+$25=$745 shipping in the USA and Canada. Our adjusted pricinng will bring us to that.

For several of the makeups (like the bison), our pricing will be lower than would be offered at Viberg, should they have made the same boot, Anyone who has ordered already will be refunded, though that may take slightly longer, since there is no batch process, and I will have to handle this all manually.

Cheers,

Fok,

If the natty cxl will be 745$ for USA and Canada, what will it be for the rest of us? Thanks Fok!
