A guide for this piece: about $62, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A London Creeper, Cut in Tokyo
The brothel creeper belongs to 1950s London, to Teddy Boys and later to punks. General Scale keeps every part of the grammar, the woven vamp, the D-rings and the deep crepe, and simply makes it quieter, in black suede that will soften with every wearing.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and subculture classics

The Thames creeper from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO's General Scale line, reference S14FW710: black suede, an interlaced vamp, silver D-ring eyelets and a deep speckled crepe sole. EU 38, with its original box.
The Piece
The vamp leads. A broad band of black suede is woven through slits across the toe in the classic brothel creeper manner, edged by a single leather strip that runs around the foot. The upper is a soft black suede, cut low to the ankle, and laced through five pairs of silver D-rings with black laces.
Below sits the platform that gives the shape its swagger: a thick crepe sole flecked with lighter grains, stitched to the welt and stamped MMY beneath the heel. Inside, the lining and footbed are tan leather, printed with the General Scale script and the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO crest.
General Scale is the house's line of reworked everyday classics; here a London subculture shoe from the 1950s is rendered with Tokyo restraint.
