Made in Japan by a long-established shoe manufacturing company in Asakusa, Tokyo. Retail price: 59,800 yen + tax Size: 10 (28cm) Outsole: Approximately 32cm I regularly oiled and air-dried them, so there is no hardening of the leather, mold, or musty smell. They have a faded and scratched used look from new. Scuffs and small scratches on the toes and heels are due to the used processing. Worn about 30 times. The soles are worn. Images 4, 5, 11, and 12 show black discoloration due to the laces being wrapped around them. Image 18 shows marks inside the sole from where insoles were placed. The toes and heels have been repaired with Shoe Goo. They are built to last, and the soles can be replaced, so you can still wear them for a long time. They are not too heavy, and you can wear them without stress compared to American-made work boots. They have a moderate volume and are easy to match with any bottoms, from slim to wide pants. While retaining the rugged atmosphere of old-fashioned work boots, they also focus on comfort, using the "Black Rapid manufacturing method," which combines the durability of Goodyear welting and the flexibility of McKay construction, resulting in shoes that won't tire you out even after wearing them for a long time, making them suitable for town use.
