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 Herbie low from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference A13FW720, in washed indigo denim with an earth-stained, aged finish, oversized tie-dyed laces and a hand-sculpted Original Sole set with three coloured studs at the heel. Marked EU 39.
The Piece
The Herbie is the house's skate-weight low: a padded collar, a deep tongue and broad panels outlined in contrast stitching. Here it is cut in indigo denim that has been washed and tinted until it looks dug up from an old workshop, rust settling into every seam.
The laces are fat cords dyed in clouds of blue and white, threaded through silver eyelets. An MMY HERBIE badge sits on the outer heel, and below it three round studs in navy, red and cream punctuate the sidewall of the Original Sole, which is shaped by hand so that it ripples and slumps round the foot like softened rubber.
Workwear denim on a restless sole.

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.
