It all went off line about 11pm nz time Monday, the LOWA products started dropping off the site, it got down to one pair of boots and then the LOWA category was removed, so I called the shop in Germany to get the goss, then I posted that bad news on the old green forum... Seems to have gone a little viral...
Spent a few hours tonight and found several other options to get them out of Europe, there's a lot of inconsistencies for size and colour and WXL is rare in a men's....
But.... F*ck em, it wasn't easy but I sourced a pair of Tibet GTX WXL in my size tonight from Europe for €199 including shipping ($315nzd)
If anyone wants a hand with any of the options I found, if they pm me the size they are after and prove they are not connected to a reseller/distributor I'm more than happy to point them in the right direction
