Cheers kc. You're right, and the US system is confusing for foreigners who are used to "what you see is what you pay". I've been to the States a few times and the first time I WAS caught out by assuming the advertised price was the all in price as it is here. One learns fast though.
My point was that:
£65 converts (as at today) to $106-ish and $65 converts to £39-ish
UK price £65 - US Price (converted) £39 = £26 or $42-ish more expensive in UK.
If we go the other way:
UK price (converted) $106 - US price $65 = $41 (in other words near enough the same)
That's a lot of Tax though assuming it is Tax. 40% more in fact.
Consequently I wouldn't buy them because it feels to me like a rip off. Not that I don't like the shoes themselves you understand, I just don't like them enough to part with 65 quid...
