Another thread on here which has cost me! I'd had been looking for some hiker style boots and had never heard of Fracap until now. I ordered a pair of M120s from a UK stockist which arrived yesterday and at first glance they seem very good quality even for their full RRP as no discount was available. As I only wanted a brown leather pair with a black commando sole my options were limited. The shade of brown (305) which I have ended up with is quite a dark chocolate type, which I do like, but my choice would probably been something a bit lighter like 750. That got me looking into having a custom pair made by Fracap. According to their website taxes are not included although I assume local Italian tax is but when placing a dummy order the full EURO 315 was going to be paid without any deduction of local taxes for export outside of the EU which would make them much more expensive than UK stockists. Has anyone ordered directly from Fracap and, if so, was the price paid the website price (EURO) in full plus UK duty and import tax? Thanks.
Also, talking of of colours, are those in the picture Arabian 725? As some pictures make them look either a red or orange brown.
