Be interesting to see if CT say anything...

Samo, Those are sweet as hell!

Love the missy too... I don;t know what the hell is going on with those brighties on the other page (And consider who is saying that, The KING of the Bright)

I hate to be the one who brings this up, again... but it isn't Crooked Tongues. Blame Canadian Customs. CT is just following canadian import rules when they actually put the actual value on the commercial invoice.

RE: "Look the postie dun brung me some supes.." (part 4) - Lorrie - 28-07-09

All CT had to do was change the value and write 'gift' on the customs form. Same thing basically every other online retailer I've bought from has done, all without me asking. So yeah, technically they did nothing wrong, but honestly that doesn't make me feel any better.

Even Flightclub did it when I bought my NBHDs from them (thank goodness)

Yeah it's a hard one, they could put a lower value on it, but then if something goes missing (I'm guessing) it probably means they can't claim what the items actually worth. Quite a few places have been refusing to lower the values on the customs labels recently, maybe been some sort of crackdown or something.

Good luck getting a response from CT Lorrie, never found them to be the best at replying.

Well, there's not much for them to say.

Anyway, I've got them on. Thought they'd be a good match for khakis, but they're not so I've got to sort out some trousers. None of the other tongues really grabbed me (and I wasn't about to flip to the CT tongues!) so I'm rocking them stock for now. Until the 3pm rain storm hits.

Good stuff all round, nice pickups, though the x-large's seem a bit brighter than I thought, which is just as well at the moment...
Nice work there Samo especially.
Lorrie, that's a load of money but they're a load of superstar.

Holly shit man! I'm not trying to rub it in, but that really fucking sucks. I'm still butt hurt about the 20% off that came out 2 days after I bought mine, but shit if I had to pay customs and tax on top of it all... I can't even comment what would happen, haha.

Shit Lorrie, that is a pisser of the highest order, good luck in trying to sort it out.

The more I see those 3rd drops the more I don't care that much for them.

I'm with you fc.. not really doing it for me either.

RE: "Look the postie dun brung me some supes.." (part 4) - flyingcod - 28-07-09

I think I've gone off thin laces, if I see a pair of soops with thin laces they don't do it for me.

All the collabs would have been much better with phat laces.

And I'm not convinced with those velcro tongues either.

Velcro tongues push them up enough to ensure they cut into the top of my foot.

I can't rock phat laces. Make me feel like a poseur. Might be my age (36), but Streak and Pure are WAAAAAY older than me and they don't seem to have a problem.

Cheeky fucker.
I'm barely older than you and I rock a fat lace, most of the time.
But then, I'm waaaaaaay cooler than you.

RE: "Look the postie dun brung me some supes.." (part 4) - Lorrie - 28-07-09

I'm not doubting your coolness - maybe that's why I can't make it work.
