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.

Lace-up boots from Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO, reference S14FW706: black leather uppers set on a chunky lug sole flecked with pale speckle, with an inside zip for easy entry. EU 42.
The Piece
The sole leads. It is a deep, rounded lug unit in black rubber, scattered through with grey and white fleck so that it reads almost like terrazzo or weathered stone. Above it, the upper is a plain black leather work boot shape: a rounded toe, seven pairs of eyelets and dark flat laces.
A zip runs up the inner side of each boot, so the laces can stay tied. Inside, the lining is tan leather, and the insole carries the maker's signature in script. The reference, size and origin are printed inside the shaft, and both are shown in the photographs.
It is a quiet design with one loud idea, which is how Mihara Yasuhiro often works: a familiar form, then a single element pushed until it becomes the point.
