Made in England Goodyear Welted Construction Reference domestic retail price: Approximately ¥50,000 I haven't worn them on rainy days. They've started to break in a bit from the initial stiffness and discomfort typical of new high-end British leather shoes, but I'm reluctantly selling them to organize my shoe collection. The upper leather appears to be in very good condition. It's also possible to add a rubber sole for greater durability. Because of the Goodyear welt construction, they can be worn for many years with a sole replacement. 【Color】Black 【Size】 Marked Size: 8 Japanese Size: Equivalent to 26.5cm *For reference, I often wear Berwick 8, Crockett & Jones 8, Texcy Luxe 26.5, Regal Scotch Grain 26.5-27, and Nike and New Balance sneakers 27.5, and Loake 1880 size 8 fits me the best.
