Hi guys,
thanks for for replying and clearing up the fact about the extra charge.
but I would like to know if any one's bank had cancelled the order like they did with my friends order.
Also was kidding about chatting **** lol
doesent anyone else find it strange that the shop is listed as a electronics shop?

There are definitely people who have bought from the UK.
In my opinion I still wouldn't use a credit card on the sneakerahead.co website.
It depends on which bank you use as well.
Your friends bank is probably more strenuous in its security check hence why they blocked it.
Currently the price is $454 if you pay via western union.
Considering that's a big drop from $600, I think these might eventually drop to $350 sometime.
Hopefully they might turn up on aliexpress soon.

Well it's a counterfeit shoe site so they maybe described it as electronics so it doesn't get shut down straight away.
Most of these websites get shut down after a certain period.
The majority use western union.
This sneakerahead.co site has tried to entice the "sneaker head" replica buyers via the Reddit "repsneakers" subreddit forum and by making a more professional website that's more secure. However I still class it as a bit dodgy.

Well thank you all for clearing things up
so best thing to do is use western union rather then credit card. I always thought western union was the worst thing to use because they could just do a runner once they got your money.
iam still trying to convince my wife to let me get a pair too, so far not so good lol :facepalm

Its entirely upto you really.
You could use a credit card, but I would check later in case any other transactions are done fraudulently.
A disposable credit card might be better.
Overall though, since people have received their shoes, it's ok to use western union with this site.

Hey man I ordered in the UK and payed with credit card, first time they blocked the payment and I had to call up and verify it was me and I wanted to send the money. My shoes arrived a week later perfect but they broke as soon as I wore them, I emailed Martha and there sending a new pair out for $110. So it all went okay for me paying by card in the UK
My replacement pair just had the same problem as @WizardBTTF 's charge port. Mine came detached from the board and I had to open it up. Good news is that I fixed it and that it took all of 15 minutes to fix. Bad news is that this is probably going to occur more often in other people's shoes. I took some detailed photos.

Would everyone agree that it's better to use velcro on the sides to help hold up the strap assembly in the rear, as with the V2s, rather than gluing on the cap? Since it looks like we'll be needing to take the cap off eventually for repairs...
Personally no. I think that it's better to just open these up and repair them, then reglue them back.

You had to resolder another one back on?
It would be interesting if they had made a USB charge port instead. You could just use the phone charger then!
i used the same port. Although I did just order some spare ports to see if they'll work as well.

Did you have to send back the broken shoes or were you able to keep those and the replacement ones as well?
They use the solder alone to hold the port down, just three small contact points. Should really use epoxy or something...they covered the rest of the board in it lol.
On a side note I was able to successfully bypass the boards inverter to run the EL and strap from a new inverter while still able to use the original switch ect. However...still having the issue of the panels turning completely blue. I don't know a way around this, other then swapping both the strap and sole EL panels.
I do it.
Forgive me if this process has been discussed in depth, but between this post and the initial posts I read from cavx are you all producing the UV stable parts for resale? I watched cavx's YouTube videos and read some discussions of the silicone molding process. I am a bit mystified by how the molds "turn the corner" and go vertical on the outside of the midsoles; are they actually two pieces seamed together to form the L shape? I did consider trying to make my own through molds of the existing soles prone to yellowing. Clearly (see what I did there), buying the replacements would save on the learning curve.
I truly admire you guy's can-do attitudes.
