The quality of the leather and the comfort are incomparable to those currently in production. These are "authentic" Western boots, emblematic of a golden age, with all-leather construction inside and out (excluding a few nails and the rubber heel), and lemonwood pegs driven into the sole. They were likely manufactured in the 1980s and appear to have been worn only once (as the heels show almost no wear) and then stored for a long time. According to experts, if these were made today using the same materials and techniques, the retail price would exceed 200,000 yen. The condition shows some scuffs, peeling, stains, small scratches, and damage to the piping, so please take a close look at the images. I don't think there are any functional issues. The size is US 11.5D, but it probably corresponds to a Red Wing or similar lace-up boot size 10.5D to 11D. The heels are snug, and the arch is gently curved, which is typical of Tony Lama lasts. Therefore, those with high arches will be able to enjoy an exquisite fit.
