So I got hit with a SneakerBoy Customs Duty Invoice from TNT Express today. 
They charged me $44 in which I have to pay by the 10th of Feb. Reality, is buying stuff from Sneakerboy is not worth it if the shoes aren't on the 50% off sale and even still the overall annoyance isn't cool as they make it seem your getting a good deal with that Australia exchange rate in actuality the fees will get you. Most cards charge you an international card fee in addition to customs fees. 
I was hype that they would be getting those Margielas but now you would be a fool to buy from them because you would end up paying close to $200 more than retail after getting hit with fees being as though the shoe is over $900. So with that being said, if you see a shoe you like your best bet is to buy it in the states. It's crazy though how I've bought so many shoes overseas and never got hit with custom charges until now.

Can someone please lead me in the right direction in finding a pair of Balenciaga Arenas in a US10/EU41 in Extra White or Black?
Thanks in advance.

You'll probably want to go 42 if you're a US10.

If anyone is lookin for Arenas and has some big feet this site has some including the Pavots and Marees for only $500 total. Not sure if its a legit site but it looks legit to me. They only have like 1 or 2 sizes of each though.

On that note, if anyone has some Arenas in Black or Rouge Braise sz 39 or 40 theyd like to sell let me know.
Just picked up those black and white suede SLPs highs that were posted a few pages ago as well as some old Margiela gats from 2010. Will post pics tonight.

Not sure about that site. A lot of cheap prices that don't seem realistic foe Celine Cuban link glasses for 500? Or saint Laurent varsity for 500? Idk about that lol
On that note i got excited seeing those red balenciaga pleteds for 600. If anyone can assist me with a pair in 44 it would be appreciated

Yea I agree its kinda risky, Im on the fence, they dont have any shoes in my size anyway but def some interesting prices on clothes. Theyre cheap enough to make it a good deal yet not absurdly good. Only weird thing to me is if youre trying to scam people why only offer 1 size? Might be willing to take a chance - worst case put in a claim and get refunded by my CC company.Not sure about that site.

EDIT: They dont seem to really have any store location or phone number on the site which def makes me learn toward it being not legit.
EDIT #2 (sorry haha) - they have a twitter page with 6k followers and pretty regular updates and says they have stores in LA/UK/VA - seems to add to their legitimacy a little - https://twitter.com/privewealthclub

I just bought the camo rock runners, and must say Valentino sneakers definitely have the quality there (I would never pay retail for them though, I got them on sale). I'm not sure how I feel about these though.

SB need to just charge US customers in USD and then shoulder the import duties. I wouldn't even mind that.

Opinions on Kris Van Assche sneakers? I'm leaning on getting these--but would love if anyone had pictures on foot?
Opinions on Ann Demeulemeester sneakers?

Wheres the pic of the KVA sneakers?
Not really European trend that dictates it, it's the weird sizing and the fact that DBSS were very hard to find to begin with so not many got to experience them. Japanese brands are still very much in demand, just got to visit other forums. NT never really caught on with Japanese brands to begin with. Overall, DBSS didn't sell well so the e-retailers that sold them so eventually they stopped carrying them. Oki-Nis stock hit 70% off iirc and it still wasn't moving, doesn't help that the good looking designed one were probably only available in Japan. They are also much bulkier than Ricks geo and that is saying something. They really did look like snowboard shoes there for a minute. I think the last new design I remember them having looks very Givenchy-ish.

Anyone got info on the sizing of the FBT JP's (visvim)? Know NT isn't really the Japanese brand connoisseur, but figures it can't hurt to ask. I know most people say to size a half down, but I'm also aware that newer models started fitting more TTS, and there's also no half sizes past 9.5, and I'm usually a 9. Anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction that'd be great.

I thought those DBSS came out before the Givenchy, I admit I'm not really sure but it's no way you can say the interest in Japanese brands comes anywhere near the interest in European brands right now, some Chicago hood rat complemented me on my Arenas the other day lol
