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.

The Desert Boot, Rebuilt
A chukka is among the plainest shoes there is, and Mihara Yasuhiro keeps it plain above the ankle. All the invention sits below: a deep stitched platform that turns a desert boot into something closer to sculpture.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer footwear and quiet suede boots

A pair of lace-up chukka boots from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference C15FW701: dark brown suede set on a deep, stitched rubber sole with the MMY mark moulded underfoot. Marked EU 40.
The Piece
The silhouette is the classic desert chukka, ankle high with a short open lacing of four eyelets, but the proportions belong to Mihara Yasuhiro. The toe is round and generous, and the suede upper sits on a thick rubber platform whose wavy edge is stitched all the way round to the welt, so the boot reads heavier and softer than the familiar original.
The suede is a deep brown with a soft nap, cut in clean panels with the quarters lapped over the vamp. Inside, the lining is smooth and the printed reference, size and maker marks appear at the shaft. Turn the pair over and the MMY initials are moulded into each sole, with an embossed square mark at the heel.
