Hi Ron,
Good to know that you are interested in the Japanese market!!
Just be careful where you place your fine boots.
A question came to my mind as I looked through a series of beautiful boots you have recently posted. When sizes are not mentioned, what is the general range of available sizes? Well…, specifically, is there a chance that you, or retailers, carry 7.5?
BTW, the guy in the pic looks great!!
Best regards,
Hiro

Thanks Chad and Hiro -
Hiro…..I will usually ‘test’ a new pattern/material in a limited size run (typically 8.5-11 or 12) and see the results before making a larger commitment to stock. At this moment, 7.5 is more of a MTO size, but hopefully that will change in the near future. But, a shop buying the line can detail the sizes they wish. For example, Steven at Leffot just received the RBCB1 in Moka Shell Cordovan and he ordered a 7.5 for his stock.
