Hello,

I gambled on these sizing wise and they are a bit too roomy for me. I can't give much sizing advice other than they feel roomier than a recent viberg size 8 2030 last and a white's 7.5E bounty hunter last. The person I bought them from mentioned they fit roomer than wesco boss in 8e.

Makers is owned by Shin Teshima in Tokyo. They only sell in Japan.

The pics speak for themselves but I've owned a ton of boots and these are some of the most beautiful I've seen. The shinki horsebutt, teacore dye, grain striations, pattern are just pure art. Depending on the lighting they can be black, brownish, or have burgundy undertones peeking out. It feels on par with clinch to me and certainly on par with their fellow Japanese brands like JL, attractions, etc.

I have noticed that one of the belt holes is stretched and could use a stitch but it's not one that I used so it didn't bother me.

Asking $650 shipped in the US.

Bump. I love looking at clinch and jl and feel like these are right up there. Might trade for some other interesting 8s or 7.5
