So i was looking at them at i guess the new ones are made overseas now, not in Canada anymore 

Anyone have a newer pair? Quality?

Some would say who in the hell would buy a pair of Binos for $2000 when you can get a set for $40.

I looked at them and am unsure exactly what the hell Ostrich hide would do to improve the boots, other than maybe make you stand out as a tree hugging yuppie when you walk down the streets of Aspen, or Seattle.

[boneaddict]

I think you have a point there.

Those boots have aspen telluride written all over them.

Pretty much this, same reason someone would buy a escalade who lived in Seattle.  Status baby, see me I have more money than common sense.  "What this thing has 4 wheel drive?  How do I use that?" "Oh I may want to drive over to see the wolves in my escalade yea thats it!"

ya most likely lots of shipping and tariff costs added to that product. I have a hard time paying 425 for work boots I dont think I could pay a grand for something like that. But mostly because you can buy a great product in schnee's or whites pac boots and they are American leather put together buy American labor.

morons, buy hand crafted boots from a local boot maker and spend 1/2 the money and keep a local business open.

I choked when I paid 350 for my whites, and they are a good boot.
