slickjay007 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 These must be the new Cycle Lab prices Cyclelab don't have many in their online range but the most expensive is R150..... siggggghhh
awesme Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 There is no CL involvement at CWC, deal is off. G These must be the new Cycle Lab prices
T-Bob Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I cant be bothered, its function over form. My feet are important to me. These falke socks fit great and are extremely comfortable, especially the thicker ones. I have some hiking varieties in them as well. No blisters!!!You forget though that Patch' loves to strike a pose... just look at the blue steel happening in his avatar! So I'd say that form is the function to some.

Clinton H Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Great news , I can't stand the vibe in a CL store .How do you justify a R 400 pair of socks , and they are men's socks with flowers on them ......

Rocket-Boy Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 To be completely honest here you cant blame CWC really for the pricing. Those socks are damn expensive to begin with when you buy them in their originating country.Add the nuts import tax on garments and duties/transport etc and its pretty much ballpark for the price. So maybe its a case of buying them if you want to prove you like to drop a lot of cash on cycling or something along those lines. Personally there is no way in hell that I will be paying anything close to that for a pair socks.

awesme Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 ye, clothes from out of country = eina. There is a 40% levy... penalty tax on any clothing imported so if it already started expensive it just gets ridiculous. G To be completely honest here you cant blame CWC really for the pricing.

Ofaniy Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Nah, will stick to my Versus Socks. The original sock dopers.
rock Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Sock are the new cool thing to have / start a business doing... and these are from italy so you know they are quality (or you're just paying the weak rand and the 50% import duty!). 'only' 20% import duty......
KingZA Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Did anybody else notice how the GoPro ploy didn't actually change the direction of this thread! R 400 is cray cray but it's been coming because we are our own worst enemies. The more we buy into these expensive products (and by this i'm saying that 90% of cycling equipment out there) the more the industry will try and push the envelope. If they sell them then they make huge profit, if they put them on 50% off special then... ...oh wait they still make huge profit.
No Hare Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I see there are socks with the USA decal. Any chance that you've got socks with the Israeli flag and that of the Palestinian Authority? Palestinian on the left, Israeli on the right foot.... working together.
Eugene Oppelt Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I assume with that price that these socks are handwoven by 40year old Italian virgins using yarn made from the wool of 1year old lambs in a monastery in the mountains that can only be reached by donkeys for one month in the year?
