A guide for this piece: about $787, 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.

Two black leather toes curve far beyond the normal outline of this Comme des Garcons Homme Plus boot pair.
The Piece
Elastic side gussets, rear pull loops and tan soles retain the structure of a Chelsea boot beneath that exaggerated profile. The design belongs to the SS2015 family documented independently as Jugo boots in the Powerhouse collection, with Guarachero references; the museum pair is a different object, not provenance for this pair. The visible size mark is 28, without a verified sizing system.
A suggested fit around 26.5 to 27 centimetres was an opinion, not an internal measurement or maker conversion chart. Full tip-to-heel lengths differ slightly between right and left. No claim of only one or two examples sold domestically is repeated without a verifiable edition record.
The independent museum record connects the SS2015 design family with military-influenced jackets and Bermuda shorts shown in Paris. That collection context explains the deliberate contrast between conventional ankle construction and an extended curled toe.

These are historically recorded item figures, not fresh in-house measurements. Packing size and shipping weight have not been inferred.
Condition
Tried on and stored, with fine leather and outsole scuffs plus some ink transfer beneath the soles and on the insoles. The earlier SA letter grade was not an original stated grade. A near-new description does not establish safe ordinary walking in these unusually long toes.
Authenticity & Care
Support each long curved toe rather than pulling or forcing it straight. Thin tissue was suggested for storage support, not as a repair or original included component. Keep the tips clear of shelf edges and have fit and stability assessed before considering wear.
Delivery from Japan
Ask about protective packing for the projecting toes before dispatch.
