Big part of the huge price is simply the demand for Guidi leather. Guidi is a tannery first and foremost, they sell to Prada, Rick Owens, Maison Margiela and a lot of "avantgarde" and "darkwear" brands such as CCP, Layer0 etc. Boots from these brands start around 1000 and go up really quickly. I would say that Guidi caters mostly to the customers of the above mentioned brands, rather than the typical workwear enthusiast. This, combined with the fact that their operation is not huge, they have to command such high prices just so they dont cannibalize their tanning business.

Another thing that adds (subjective) value to the boots from this brand (and their more fashion oriented sister brand Guidi) is their piece dyeing method. They dye the whole boots in a vat (as opposed to using already dyed materials and then constructing the boot). It makes the color more uniform, because the sole, upper, laces and everything is dyed by the same dye at the same moment. But at the same time, every part of the leather absorbs the dye differently, so this adds more depth to the color and texture. Also, this method slightly distressed the boots and the finished product looks beautiful in my opinion. Unfortunately, the boots they sent you are the undyed version. I would have loved to see the way piece dyeing makes the insides look.

This is the first boot I have seen you cut in half that made me wish you hadn't cut it in half. These may be the most beautiful boots I have ever seen. This is a luxury boot. A luxury Dunhill wallet can cost $600. So, is this overpriced? Not for the market it is selling into - the luxury goods market. Compared to $600 wallets, this is a steal at $1300!! It's not my market segment, but I can appreciate the quality even if I cannot afford it.

In terms of material quality and all-leather construction, PNW brands like Nicks, Whites, and Canada West make all-leather construction boots. Most of their boots are geared towards the heavy-duty blue collar workers, but they make lifestyle versions too. If you want something sleeker, Iron Boots(the boots featured in the video) makes some great quality stuff.

@robert8984 15 күн бұрын

The price seems normal. $700 boots (Material, shipping, production quality) as a baseline + low production quantity + hand made in Italy + a super-premium brand with a very good reputation. Its like Zegna or Bottega Veneta. You pay a huge (~100%) markup for the 10% extra quality over "normal" top brands.

@@mike_nolan Not really, it's a normal EU sales tax, always included in the final price. When ordering from outside the EU or demo one EU country to the other, the tax is removed, and you pay your own rate of tax from your own country, where eligible. It has some advantages over sales tax, like disincentivizing fraud, it0s flat tax, and it's not an incentive to vertical company ownership, which inevitably reduces competition.

These boots are definitely more deserving of their price than some Jordans and Yeezys sneakers or Balenciaga boots that go several times or even ten times this price. Or so many cowboy boots with big prices and regular materials. At least these boots are hand made from premium materials. Of course that from a durability and quality standpoint these boots are not 2 times better than a Pacific western boot at 700 dollars. But those boots are also not 2 times better that many 350 dollars boot.

One of the main reasons that veg tanned leather is used for boot linings and foot bed is that chrome tanned leather can cause irritation or allergic reaction on the skin for some people. So, for the interior components they use veg tan. Conversely, chrome tanned leather is more water resistant and easier to dye with a bigger range of colours so it is used more for the outside of items.

Plus I had to have JK flatten the arch. Even with that and a month of break in the arch's still didn't drop enough and the toes on my right foot were going numb. I took a sander to the wedge sole under the arch and they finally dropped enough. That boot with the steel shank would never break in enough to be comfortable for me. So will they adapt to your feet? Sure unless you have f'd up feet that are odd sizes. My point is for this price they could/should do some fitting. If not you can buy good quality boots far cheaper.

But I do think that there is The notion of excellence… And trying to buy the most beautifully executed version of a pair of shoes, or a jacket or a sweater or automobile, or whatever. And generally those things cost a lot of money. They do become status symbols. Most people are not going to be able to experience them. And that’s the way life is. I think that life does show us that it is better to buy fewer pieces of higher quality… Because high quality items tend to last longer, look better, and wear better. Now… How to reconcile that with the fact that there are people who are starving every night? People with no roof over their head… Or the roof is a tent or corrugated metal? I don’t know. But that’s what we do as human beings. We narrow our focus, and we justify our actions.

If i was rich I’d pay $1,300 for this. Sure maybe it’s like 20-25ish percent more than it should be, but this quality, especially considering they are producing only a fraction of the “big guys” are, as far as quantity goes. I wish. This is an awesome boot, and probably will last years, if not generations

And to answer your question “how much should this be priced at?” I’d say 12-13……. They are an up an coming company, and to have this quality… and hoping they are treating their employees right….. that’s probably the cost, if not more. Put this in perspective, I was in San Jose California like 2 days ago fixing my phone. Went to the “Golden Goose” store…….. and just WTF!?!? They wanted OVER $1,950 for a pair of shoes that literally looked like Vans that a skater had worn for a year…. Not exaggerating at all either. It’s just ridiculous

I always hate when an expensive product says imperfections are just the way it goes. That's only true when you don't spend the time to sort hides and only select the best parts of the best hides, which, sure, at $500 you can't do, but at $1350?
