DHB shoes are now £51.90, were £44.99 last year - why the curious increase?

not to such random figures such as £51.90, maybe 51.99 but not 51.90. Are they anticipating the VAT increase? they were cheaper last week btw.

Are you curious as to why the price has gone up or why they are a strange price point?

edit - too slow typing.

VAT? Went back to 17.5% But it could be higher now I havn't checked if the budget has been announced.

With 20% VAT that would make them £53.00 which seems a much more sensible price point. So maybe it is a pre-emptive move.

Maybe their latest batch were subject down the line to increased costs due to Strelings weakness and they like to make the same markup/margin on them

So when they cut the price in the sales they can do 25% off etc
