They sell the Sidi Vertebra Race boots for £180.00 = $158.99 US, while KneeDraggers.com sells em for $350..

can this be right??

Cusworth's (http://www.cusworths.co.uk/system/index.html) sells them for £139.99 ($202.86 US). I haven't ordered yet, 'cause I'm not too keen on having to deal with the returns issue if they don't fit. Overseas shipping can add up real quick.

Edit note: £180.00 = $260.87 US

moving this to the new Riding Gear/Apparal forum.

don't you have to pay import tax or something like that...I ordered something one time from out of state and I had to pay ups additional money because it came from out of state? That ended up bein around 60 bucks!

i've heard you can get around that by asking the company if they'll write down "gift" or something to that effect so you don't have to pay the tax.

bought my dainese suit from the UK and didn't pay import tax. from what i hear, it's 50/50 whether you'll get tagged w/ the added tax.

Hey Hunter..have ya tried newenough..? I know Paul carries them, for 205.00 I think..
