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.

The Tabi reimagined as a tall rubber rain boot: Maison Margiela's split toe on a deep-lugged sole, in a soft rosy beige, size 38, unworn and boxed.
The Piece
Martin Margiela introduced the Tabi in his first collection in 1988, borrowing the split toe of the Japanese jika-tabi worker's sock. It has since become the house's most recognisable design, and its appeal has spread far beyond fashion insiders. The rubber rain boot version translates that shape into a practical, weatherproof object without losing any of its strangeness.
This pair, reference S58WW0159, is moulded in rubber in a muted rosy beige, with a pronounced split toe, a knee-high shaft and a chunky lugged sole with a 4 cm heel. The sole carries the Maison Margiela Paris numbered calendar with 22 circled, the code of the house's footwear line, and the inner lining is stamped Maison Margiela Paris, made in Italy, size 38.
Size 38 corresponds to about 24 cm. The shaft is 40 cm high with a 41 cm opening and a 35 cm ankle circumference, comfortable over jeans or with thick socks.
They are unworn and arrive in their original box, ready for the first wet day.

Authenticity & Care
The labels, materials, stitching, hardware and construction are examined together and documented in Japan before dispatch; anything that cannot be confirmed is stated plainly in the description. Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Rinse with clean water, dry away from heat, and store out of direct sunlight to protect the rubber.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan 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.
