A guide for this piece: about $49, 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.

Lace-up boots from Kenzo's Kenzoyama line in warm beige calf suede, with a moccasin toe, a side zip and a steel dog tag at the laces. US 7, worn only a few times, with the original floral box.
The Piece
Kenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long balanced Tokyo restraint with Parisian ease. These boots date from the period when the label was under the creative direction of Nigo, and they borrow the sturdy silhouette of the American work boot, then restyle it with a Kenzo sensibility.
The upper is calf suede in a soft sand tone, with an embossed Kenzo Paris logo on the ankle and a silver-toned plate hanging from the laces. A zip on the inner side makes them easy to put on without loosening the laces. The round, moccasin-style toe sits on a chunky rubber sole in a pale, creamy colour, which gives the boot its height and a slightly sculptural profile.
Inside, the lining is calf leather, and a removable Kenzo insole in navy with a red logo can be taken out to adjust the fit. The boots were made in Spain.
Please note the size: the maker's box is marked 40 and the boots are noted as running generously, with an outsole length of about 30 cm (11.8 in).

Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Tokyo 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; please ask anything 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.
Considered offers are welcome through Send an Offer, and each one is reviewed personally.
