Its a combination of it being a perfect last design, the impeccable construction quality, the quality of the teacore horsehide they use and how it has incredible rolling patina texture, and then of course the higher cost associated with paying someone a living wage to construct the boot and then resell it overseas through 3rd party distributors for some level of profit. In my opinion, the design is perfect because of the low toe profile which allows for a super authentic vintage rolling patina. Is it ACTUALLY worth $800-$1,000 more than a pair of lofgrens? Probably not. However, if you manage to arguably make a perfect engineer boot design, $2k isn't really going to stop anyone from buying it and if you are hesitant about spending that much on a boot, you realistically don't have enough income to be buying higher-tier leather footwear in the first place
