Good morning. Read this section before. Very nice boots, so I thought I'd re read it for company detail. (As I thought that the only commercial manufacturer left was in the eastern US. - Allen Edmonds - who makes an excellent shoe. I have one of there dress boot and a dress shoe that I've had for years and had reconditioned, and soled and heeled by them. You can find them on line) . But what I'm writing about is the cost for International shipping for the boot that you bought! 135$!! That's a third the cost of the boot! And I complained about shipping costs on razors and soap! Guess I've been getting a deal, I'll never bad mouth your post again!
