A guide for this piece: about $42, 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.

The Wayne low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A08FW706, in white and black leather on a white hand-sculpted Original Sole, with broad cream laces and MMY stitched at the heel. Marked EU 42, with the maker's box.
The Piece
The Wayne borrows the outline of a classic court shoe: a white leather base with a perforated toe, black leather overlays sweeping round the eyestay, heel and collar, and MMY printed on each side. Thick cream laces are tied loose across the vamp, and MMY is embroidered in white on each black heel.
Below, the house lets the base give way. The Original Sole is shaped by hand, its white sidewalls swelling and rippling round the foot as though the rubber had softened in the heat and set again.
Black, white and a sole that will not keep still.

Authenticity & Care
Checked and photographed in Japan before dispatch; the sculpted sole, the MMY heel embroidery and the printed reference inside the shoe are shown among the frames. Wipe the leather with a soft damp cloth, feed it now and then with a neutral cream, and let the pair dry naturally away from direct heat.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Japanese shoe sizes are given in centimetres of foot length, checked here by hand, and makers differ by half a size or more. Compare with a pair you already wear from the same maker and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our shoe size conversion chart sets Japan beside US, UK, EU and Korean sizes, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
