    So my wife has a passion for these shoes, the Brand is Iron Fist and the only retailer in Ireland is Schuh, where a pair of platforms costs around 85Euro :mad::mad:

    These are the last one's she got from Schuh

    As this was costing me a small fortune i decided to shop around, i just bought 2 pairs from Iron Fist direct (From U.S) for 81 Euro, which includes priority International delivery!!

    These are the 2 pairs i bought

    They have a pretty decent sale on at the moment, and it looks like only an extra $10 is added to postage for each extra pair of shoes.

    Also by keeping the order relatively low (2 pairs) ya won't get stung for custom charges

    A guy that buys shoes for his wife? Bizarre.:eek:

    BTW you could well be done for VAT and duty even on a single pair. In fact anything more than €23 IIRC.

    It keeps her happy ;);)

    As for paying VAT, i've ordered countless stuff from sites in U.S and the cost has always been below 100Euro, mainly about 70/80, and i've never had to pay import taxes.

    Well I think you are lovely for buying your wife shoes Scudzilla:) And thanks very much for posting the link as I love Iron fist shoes. Amazon.co.uk also have a small selection of Iron fist shoes with good prices, sizes seem limited though but its worth keeping an eye on the more expensive ones as the prices often come down. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_9?url=search-alias%3Dshoes&field-keywords=iron+fist&sprefix=iron+fist#/ref=sr_pg_1?rh=n%3A355005011%2Ck%3Airon+fist%2Cp_76%3A186770031%2Cp_6%3AA3P5ROKL5A1OLE&bbn=355005011&sort=price&keywords=iron+fist&ie=UTF8&qid=1313357678

    I checked out the VAT thing, the shoes come to $70 for the 2 pairs, 50Euro, so IF i get collared to pay VAT it'll only be 10.50.

    Wow, thats a really good deal :)

    I bought a pair of Ironfist shoes in Schuh and it cost about 70e.
    Wasn't too bad though, but still there are so many to choose from, so that is a fantastic offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭purplestar77


    I was shopping around for Iron Fist shoes lately too and considered buying direct from the US store but I was afraid of getting stung for customs/extra charges on delivery - so good to know it didn't happen to OP.

    I ended up getting my shoes from http://www.katesclothing.co.uk/ - they have a 10% discount code when you sign up for their newsletter. My shoes were on sale at £39.99stg then got my 10% off. Postage to Ireland cost I think about £6.50stg. Placed my order on Tuesday afternoon and the postman arrived with my shoes first thing Friday morning, and cost me €49!

    Anyway I love them....so will definitely be in the market for more Iron Fist shoes :)

    Branch 309 both on their .co.uk & in their ebay.co.uk shop have some - but it's a bit hit & miss - good prices when they have what you're after though ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,027 ✭✭✭eddiem74


    You could also try Branch309 (free shipping if you spend over £50) and if you go through fatcheese you can get between 5%-7% cashback.

    Would dearly love to take advantage of this, but not a great range on sizes at all. Either tiny shoes or larger sizes available right now it seems. Could only find one decent shoe in my size (6) and it wasn't my favourite :(

    First 2 pairs arrived this morning, not a penny asked for/paid in VAT and duty :D:D

    Yeah, awesome prices, 2 pairs (tiki and bloody mess) are 140Euro for the pair delivered, but using the code i just posted ya can get exact same delivered from the states for $79, which is 58Euro.

    A whole 82euro saved so i could spend it in the pub while she plays wit her new shoes ;)

    So in there infinite wisdom Iron Fist U.S. have decided not to ship to Ireland anymore, telling all UK/Irish customers to buy from there UK site.

    A pair of shoes selling for $44 on the U.S site are now $96 on the UK site!!!:mad::mad:

    I had a pop at them on there Facebook page about it when another company replied, there website is http://www.styleaddiction.com/

    They have a huge collection of Iron Fist (Men & Ladies), Affliction, Ed Hardy etc at pretty awesome prices.

    Just ordered 2 pairs of Iron Fist shoes for my wife at a total cost of 64Euro (which includes international shipping)

    Ordered a week last Friday, arrived today, not bad with a holiday weekend.

    Shoes are fine, 2 pairs for just over 60 delivered, as opposed to 80/85 per pair in Schuh.

    The earlier 2 boxes we ordered are in the country with DHL as per tracking number, been 2 weeks now, but i guess it was free delivery

    I ordered 3 separate times, 2 were sent by DHL Global Mail which have not yet arrived, but the other one, ordered last, was delivered fine via USPS

    I ordered a pair for my GF last week so will let you know when they arrive. Did you get caught with customs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,280 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    No customs.

    They marked it as being cheaper than it was :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,945 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    First box i ordered just came, only awaiting 1 more box now. DHL Global Mail is soooooo slow (posted Nov 13th!!), but free is free i guess.

    USPS or Paid for DHL is the way to go, but if yer not in a rush and want it free....
