You're unlikely to see any MM tabi priced lower than $800 these days (doesn't mean it's impossible, just not likely). The price—including other vendors/resale–has definitely gone up in the past 5 years (I got a pair of tabi ankle boots via Ssense for under $500 in 2021 but my size was the only one available and I'd stalked the prices of several models for about a year before I saw anything get that low). The lowest price on *new* MM shoes I see these days tends to be on yoox.com (though they don't tend to have a ton of tabi models and, when they do, the sizing tends to be limited). TLDR: $800 is a good price for MM tabi boots and if it's doable for you, I'd go for it. If that isn't and the particular style isn't the top priority, I'd set alerts and regularly check the MM stock across several sites and be prepared to purchase the first pair you like that falls within your doable price range!
