For some reason I really like these.

Yeah, me too. I didn't like them from the picture but I saw them in person and tried them on yesterday and they looked so good on. I'm just thinking in terms of longevity and wearability. Would they go with everything? Will I get sick of them after a while? I tend to go for classic items in my wardrobe.

Any ideal as how to waterproof the Cuba/cleane boots? I heard the spots may run if you spray them with apple guard? Anybody with any experince with this?


I love them, but if i can only wear them in nice weather they will not be used that much here in norway...

I don't have the answer to your question but I LOVE your Cubas! I have never seen them in this color before.. only black, purple, and cream. I'm in love, I think this is the best combination, so insanely jealous right now!

Finally a supervisor got back to me and she was a little more reasonable. She suggested that I buy the size larger for the new higher RRP and then once I confirm that I am keeping them, they will pay the difference back to my CC.

What do you all think? Can I trust that they will do that? I feel a little bit uncomfortable.

I think Australians should just boycott IM.

I noticed on the Matches website that if you select shipping to New Zealand the price goes back down :mad: (not that I want New Zealander's to be ripped off too, but this seems so unfair!!!).

If you have written confirmation they will refund the difference, then im guessing you should be ok!

I can't believe the price is lower for everyone else except Australians :cursing::pout:

There has to be some sort of online fair trade agreement?!?! I just don't understand how we can be charged more??? It shouldnt match Australian RRP if we are buying from OVERSEAS! So if I went to an IM store in Europe, would they charge me the Australian RRP there too? No, they wouldn't!

I'm seriously thinking boycotting IM now! It's retail descrimination based on where you live!

Hope someone from matches/mytheresa/IM reads these comments and starts to value Australian customers and charge us fairly for IM clothing and accessories!

IM did this to US consumers as well starting about two seasons ago. Your best bet is to buy from individual smaller boutiques overseas or Farfetch but you'll have to pay the duties when the item arrives anyhow. At least they're actually letting Australians purchase from the website, MyTheresa and Matches removed IM from the available designers for purchase in the US.

I have wondered why matches won't ship IM to the US! Thanks dbaby!

This is so odd! For once I guess that I'm glad to be in Canada, although that is bad for my wallet.

Taxtralia is much worse.
Anybody who ever visits from overseas is floored by the prices of stuff here... Everything - clothes, food, houses. Plus if you work hard you get taxed through the nose too.

With respect to IM though (and other designers), US consumers have so much choice! Unless you live in Melbourne or Sydney ... It's slim pickings! Luckily there is a local boutique that stocks IM where I live, but given AU RRP I have to be desperate for something to pull the trigger. I bought my taupe dickers there $800!!!! Still can't believe I actually did that. My IM days are numbered it seems. :death:

Darn! I am strongly considering moving there in a few years but if everything is super expensive and I will be taxed more, I may have to reconsider.

On many occasions I have placed IM stuff in my US cart and they have shipped it to me! I always hold my breath and cross my fingers until I get my shipping confirmation but to date I have ordered 4 separate times since they said no shipping to US. Strange but...If you love something give it a try :)
