Visited Lakota House in Tokyo searching for shell boots on the Modified last. Was really hoping for ravello and cigar but no luck. The guy told me that the rare shell colors are now just that, extremely rare. All they had were #8 and black (both PT boots). At 110,000 Yen (about $1100), I couldn't bite. But they had some boots on the Military last, which I've never tried. Given my obsession with Viberg right now, the Military last was very appealing to me. The toe box is rounder than the Modified last but has less interior room. It has less of the extreme arch of the Modified but the heel is narrower, which I really liked.
This last has more of a work boot look to it. I spent way more for these than I should have, but they will be my souvenir from Tokyo. My first boots with a crepe sole, which don't get much love here, but thought I'd try, as they were just so comfortable.
