A guide for this piece: about $67, 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.

Lustrous Heartbeat lace-up boots from ha | za | ma in all black, marked JP 24.5 cm. One of the Tokyo label's sculpted-heel designs, offered lightly worn.
The Piece
A tall-laced platform boot in deep black whose heel is sculpted as an anatomical heart, vessels and all, so the wearer quite literally stands on a heartbeat. The side zip is drawn by a pull shaped like a syringe, a small clinical joke that completes the idea.
ha | za | ma is the Tokyo label of designer Ryosuke Matsui, whose sculpted heels are made in Japan in short runs.

Authenticity & Care
An authentic ha | za | ma piece; the maker's marks visible in the photographs are consistent with that. Our curators check every detail in Japan before dispatch. Keep the leather away from prolonged damp and heat, wipe the sculpted heels with a soft dry cloth and let the pair rest between wears.
Delivery from Japan
The pair is packed by hand in Japan, with shaped support inside a sturdy carton. Shipping is quoted and agreed with you before purchase, weighing EMS, then FedEx, then air cargo, all insured and tracked. Duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please 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.
