Manufacturer: Zerrows Custom Line Size: US8.5 = 26.5cm (Fits like a US9 due to the large size.) Material: Horsebutt Leather Color: Dark Brown, Tea Core Made in Japan Year of Manufacture: 2017 These are side-gore boots from Zerrows, known for their robust construction and incredibly thick leather. This is a custom line item, and furthermore, a custom piece made with the finest horsebutt leather. The total cost was approximately 90,000 yen. Horsebutt is the thickest and most durable part of the horsehide, the buttock. Cordovan is famous, but this leather hasn't been polished to reveal the cordovan layer, so it boasts even greater thickness and durability than cordovan. I fell in love with this extremely rare leather and the easy-to-wear design and bought it, but unfortunately, the size is too large, so I'm putting it up for sale. I usually wear US8 or 8.5, which fits perfectly, but it was still too big even with insoles. A tag is included with the manufacturer's free heel replacement and sole discount benefits. The original box is not available, so it will be shipped in a suitable box with protective cushioning. I hope it finds its way to someone who appreciates its value. The brand wasn't listed, so it's registered under White's, but please note that these are made by Zerrows.
