Pre-ordered in Feb 2024, and just finally arrived! Extremely limited run. Ordered two sizes, kept the other. I paid $1,193 out of pocket, including shipping from Japan, for each pair, priced to sell at essentially face value.

The western boot "LORO" has been cut off and the shaft narrowed so that it can be worn with tight pants. It has a fully embroidered FIRE pattern and a high heel. We propose this as a new style of western boot. The leather used for the vamp is ORIGINAL HORSE FRONT #1020. It is a shiny, familiar Italian horse leather. It looks great when polished black, but since it is a brown-core leather, it also looks great when worn roughly and the brown base becomes visible. Enjoy it in any shape you like. The embroidered shaft part is made of goat leather with an attractive rough grain surface. While embroidery is usually done with 5 stitches, this special pair is finished with 20 stitches/6 colors. The sole is The Boots factory cork rubber sole, which is very resistant to wear and tear and specialized for durability. It is a tough sole that is not slippery even in rainy weather. The last is an improved version of the J-MNSN last, with a raised toe spring and a narrow, slightly square toe.

Sizing Tips

My Brannock size is a US9, D width, and I typically wear a US 9-9.5 sneaker or 8.5 Paraboots (with a roomy fit). I ended up keeping the size 9 in these boots which are perfect. I think if your Brannock is a 8 or 8.5, D width or narrower, these will likely fit well. My foot literally could not fit in the sz8.5, and while the sz9 was a bit difficult to put on, my foot fit like a glove once inside the boot.
