This is a collaboration engineer boot by RATS, MAGICALDESIGN, and ZERROWS. The marked size is S (7 1/2, 26cm). It features brass buckles. There is some wear and tear, but overall it's in decent condition. The heels show little wear. I bought these because I was looking for them, but unfortunately, the size didn't quite fit, so I'm putting them up for sale. I think they are well-made boots, so I recommend them if the size fits. SUEDE LEATHER RATS×MAGICALDESIGN×ZERROWS ENGINEER BOOTS They employ machine welt stitching, a first in Japan. The vamp and welt are sewn together without a rib, directly attaching the vamp and welt. This likely provides a unique wearing experience not found in other boots, a first for Japanese-made boots. (Machine welt construction similar to Rios of Mercedes, etc.) Without using dies, hand-cutting allows for careful size matching, selecting the optimal leather parts for each boot. The sewing thread used is Vectran, a fire-resistant thread also used in fireman boots by brands like White's. Triple stitching enhances durability, making it resistant to heat and friction. The roughout leather used for the vamp and shaft is high-quality top-grain leather that hasn't been dyed to the core, uniquely colored and used exclusively for these boots. The boots offer enjoyable aging with wear, and the original stomper last features a strong toe spring to support smooth walking. The heel block uses an original large-size block, achieving a well-balanced silhouette that combines aesthetics and stability. The slim shaft top cut with an inner slang reduces calf pressure and creates an asymmetrical effect for a vintage style. The unique roughout texture, not found in "smooth leather," is utilized, and the stitching and soles are unified in black to match the unique black color, making them suitable for any styling. The boots offer a luxurious feel, the presence of the protruding double welt, and the use of thick cowhide allows for aging with wear. The welt stitching is also a tube type, using hollow thread welt stitching material, the same as Rios, White's, and Wesco, which expands in the center when you blow air into it. #RATS #ZERROWS
