Hmmm... never heard of that brand before and neither does Google, but yeah, they look decently made as far as I can judge from the pic. Do you have another pic that shows the boot's profile/side view ?

Just your size or are they available in others? This is of interest to me.

[/IMG] I need something leather for damp ****** weather, canvas converse are not cutting it, but I don't think I can handle any particularly exciting trainers. Mostly to be worn with my APC NS, OCBDs, t shirts, and a barbour or a tweed jacket. Quite liked the look of the high tops in the same collection but I don't think I could get used to wearing them. Any other suggestions?

It's a very slightly used pair in my size on the Korean market. Actually says it runs slightly small or large but I can't read Korean well enough to figure out exactly what it meant. I can return them if they don't fit so I'll take the plunge and see how the quality is.

If you link me the page in a pm, I'll tell you whether they run big or small.

Pretty sure it says it runs a bit smaller but I've been wrong about this kind of stuff before.

Do you really think boots made for the Japanese market will come in your size? (Although if they do, I might be interested as well.)

I see nice shoes and boots up to 285 (US 10.5-11), anything higher is really rare. Takes a lot of searching to find good deals as most well known brands are VERY expensive in Korea. To the point that it's not worth bothering. Those Fujiwaras were a total fluke.
