Hello all! I've got a question regarding these boots for sale on Ebay and Rakuten. They're "Kyoji Maruyama" brand, and from what I can tell, he's a relatively expensive designer. Are they worth ~75-100 USD? Does anyone know much about the quality of his brand?

No idea about the quality, and hadn't heard about him before. But Googling around in Japanese, it seems he's a fashion designer who launched his brand in 1993 and mainly does street fashion.

Couldn't find anything on quality, construction, where they are made, durability, etc.

In Japan, his new boots seem to go for about $600 to $800, but drop to $80 or $40 or less on the used market. To me that signals that they are just a fashion brand and actual quality isn't anything special, but if you like the style, why not?

You might also have more luck posting this question and pictures over on the Streetwear and Denim sub-forum since that's more the look this brand goes for.
