A guide for this piece: about $62, 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.

A Derby on Stacked Timber
A plain black derby, the most formal of everyday shoes, lifted onto a layered sole that looks cut from a block of wood. The upper stays polite; the sole does all the talking, which is Mihara Yasuhiro's method in miniature.
Best for: Collectors of sculptural Japanese designer footwear

Platform derby shoes from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference B14FW710: black patent leather uppers raised on a stacked, multi-tone sole of about 8 cm with a deep lugged tread. Tagged EU 40.
The Piece
The side profile leads. The sole is built in layers: a black base, a broad wedge in warm tan, and pale bands of stitched welting that run the full length of each shoe, so the platform reads like a cut through stacked timber. Above it, the glossy black patent upper keeps the plain lines of a classic derby, with open lacing and a flat lace.
Underneath, the black rubber outsole carries a deep wave tread with a small tab bearing the house name. Inside, the leather lining is tan, and the insole carries the Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO mark below the house WEARING INSTRUCTIONS text. The reference B14FW710 and size 40 are printed on the lining.
Mihara Yasuhiro began his house with shoes, and his footwear often exaggerates one element of a familiar form. Here a sober derby gains a sculptural sole and becomes almost an object.

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.
