Now I am not one to disparage the price to be paid for innovation, design and limited quantity runs. There is value to be found in all of those things, let's not just pretend the materials alone justify the price. When I look at a CCP pair of boots I see something really interested and relatively well made but for around half the price you can get a hand-lasted pair of Vass boots that blow away anything CCP does quality wise. What these makers bring to the table is a constant dedication to an ideal of odd-ness and an exploration of form and materials.
