So finally I got to see the R10 boots selling in stores and it looked better in real life than through pictures (please excuse my reflection). There are three boots there if you didn’t notice already, I know I didn’t notice it and I took the picture.

Did I Try Them On?

No I did not, because it was 7pm on the weekend and the store was closed as a result I’m sure in the US it’s totally different in terms of hours stores close and open. Anyway I had to walk away from those great looking shoes. I then turned to my friend who was standing near by and said, “You know, I think I might shell out $290 AU for these babies after all”. He thought I was crazy for talking such nonsense, but I don’t think I was.

So What Am I Going To Do?

I decided that I am going to invest into a pair of these shoes, but I might search elsewhere than retail and go online to see how the US is doing in terms of pricing. To my knowledge I should be able to pick up a pair of these boots for around $150 US and with shipping it might finish around $50 cheaper than purchasing retail. But I don’t think it’s worth it for the wait and worry. I’m still puzzled, do any of you have any suggestions?
