Crazy. I was very skeptical as I picked them up for next to nothing at Value Village.
Thanks for the input!

It doesn't look great (from the pic), but how is the toebox shape on yours? Got mine from Renarts during that sale too and the shape is very chunky

M997DSAI for $160 shipped on eBay. Just picked up a size 10 since I don't think I'll see a lower price on these.

the shape is not horrible but not best i have seen. the one thing that kinda bugs me is they fit kinda large, kinda similar to the cncpts grand tourers. yours fit correct? or true to your normal 998 size?

M1500FBs came in. I am a sucker for leather-based NBs...
It's hard to think of another company that could pull off a mass-production of this tongue, props to the folks at Flimby for this craftsmanship... For this shoe to work, the tongue had to be attached perfectly straight. Can you imagine Nike trying to pull this off in one of their factories?

They don't fit huge but definitely larger than my 998DO (which have almost perfect shape). I just assumed the shape had something to do with the looser fit as I only have one pair of 998's to compare them too

Weird, I thought I was the only one that wasn't expecting such a large fit on the CSEFs since I went 0.5 down from my Asics size. It did feel just like the GTs in the same size that I ended up selling because I thought those were just a tad bit too big as well.

My made in UK's always outshine my Made in USA's. I think it has to do with the small scale operation in Cumbria, with less than 100 workers for the whole factory those guys take pride in what they do. I'm thinking about grabbing the Epic TR's, I like all three but I already have 577's and 1500's. I feel like the chance to snag a model that may not come around again is whats compelling me to go with those, plus im a sucker for the retro court looking shoes. The CT300 is probably my favorite UK model.

Nice! I've been thinking about grabbing these even though I don't really need anymore black/white. They look great

You'll easily see them for less than that, but you'll have to wait awhile. But nonetheless, excellent pickup and a decent price. Very dope 997.

The problem is that whenever I see a low price on a model that I'm really interested in, size 10 is almost never available. For the 997DGM which has a similar MSRP I never saw it dip below 180, I ended up buying it pre-owned for 145.
The 997DCS eventually came down to $102, I thought about buying it a few months ago when it was 130 but I wasn't too hot on the CW so I passed again. I think the 997DSAI is pretty hot so that's why I pulled the trigger at 160.

$169 now but it wasn't 169 when I was looking.

Not bad but the pre-owned one I picked up on eBay was barely worn so I saved a few bucks. Got some real good deals by buying used.
