These are long boots from MBT shoes. I previously purchased these new from someone here, but when I tried them on, the soles collapsed. I had them repaired by someone considered the best at a major shoe repair shop, which took several months and cost 33,000 yen. The feel is similar to the sturdy soles of MBT shoes, and I don't think the comfort has changed much. I wore them once after the repair. There is some shape distortion, some scratches, and a chipped part on the inside of the sole, but please be aware of this. The heel height is about 3 cm at the highest point. They are size 37, which is supposed to be 23cm, but they run large, so they fit me perfectly, and I usually wear 23.5cm.
