Sugar Cane workboots at HPA

I was just over at the HPA website and noticed that they have several workboots from Sugar Cane on their new products page. They are extremely expensive but they look fantastic!

In case anyone is interested, here is a link:

very nice....

I never understood why they have to put a nail through the leather on the heel?

pricey but gorgeous. I have resolved not to ditch my caterpillar branded 'engineers' boots which were 25 quid in TK Maxx a closeout store and feature correct soles as do my hi top brown suede lace ups

Yes, cool but as usual Sugar Cane prices are WAY out of line!!!! I go with places like At The Front or What Price Glory for this kind of stuff - much cheaper and good quality (at least good enough quality).

I don't think it's Sugar Cane pricing that's out of line. Mine were bought in Japan, where including tax, they sell at around 40,000 Yen.

40,000.00 JPY = 398.800 USD

Great boots, and certainly worth the money.

Price: $555.00

Exactly ... and the Japanese price already includes the retailer's margin, and 5% tax.

The surge of the yen against the U.S. dollar probably isn't help things either...

They look like my Dunhams.*

Did you get them online? At a specific website? Or while visiting ....

Mine were originally bought from Hinoya, other members have bought them online.

Do any UK members know if Eastman plan to stock the Sugar Cane boots ?
and for those who hang around Camden Town and similiar places do you ever see any over here for sale ?
