They sell for $169 to the few customers who don't catch one of the dozens of discount codes ranging from 15% to 30% that are seemingly available at all time, or when they often go on "sale" for $99. $170 for a shoe made in Colombia where the typical hourly wage is equivalent to absolute dirt. This company is still making a strong margin when they "sale" these for $99 all the time. And let's be real, we know they're not selling that many even with the massive boost they've gotten by leveraging marketing through social media.
@@StrayReviews my issue is, I'm very suspect of anything from Colombia. Yes its true Colombia inherited some of the tradition of leather working and shoe making from Spanish colonialism. Spain has a lot of amazing leather work and cobblers for a lower cost than Italy or France and the quality is similar. There are just a lot of shady things going on in Colombia. I'd be curious if these are sold locally over there for how much in US dollars.
What do you use to clean your white soles?
Toothpaste
@@Jay-cc6nt Nice! I haven't heard of that one either.
I use bick 4 to clean the shoe and also the white soles.
@@SC_Lost Nice! Thanks!

@@StrayReviews Look at their Ultralights!

It’s true they have lots of sales. Usually it’s a buy two pairs and get a discount sort of thing.

@@TimJohnson-x1o Great question. Since they're made to order, I have my doubts they'd be stocking store shelves with them.
@@StrayReviews allegedly made to order.
Brown or chocolate?
Brown.
I have had some luck using a Magic Eraser.
Excellent! I never thought of that.
Very good looking sneaker
For sure!👍
