These are punch cap toe boots, custom-made (MTO) directly by Dean Girling himself in 2009, when the company was founded. They are based on the design from Gaziano & Girling's first collection, with the GG06 last. While the ready-made version is a 7-eyelet lace-up boot, I requested Mr. Dean to replace the top four eyelets with hooks, as is common in Japan for easier on-and-off. I also had the sole changed to a spade sole, which offers better flexibility than a double sole. The size is 9 1/2E in UK sizing, but compared to typical British shoes, Gaziano & Girling has a slimmer last, so the width feels closer to a D. Please consider this if you are concerned about the fit. I usually wear 9.5E in ready-made British shoes and 10D in American shoes. The material is calfskin, and the color is dark brown. I wore these boots only once or twice a year, but they have been stored in the shoe box for the past few years, and I no longer have the opportunity to wear them, so I am selling them to declutter. Please note the following before bidding: I used "Shoe Goo" on the toe area during the break-in period, so some black rubber remains. There is no repair history on the heels. The shoelaces are also the original ones. Accessories include the original shoe bags and shoe trees. The box has been repaired in some areas. There is also polish from that time, but it has hardened due to aging, so please consider it as a bonus. I remember the purchase price at the time was around 180,000 yen, based on the exchange rate. Considering that the current domestic price of ready-made products is 200,000 to 300,000 yen, this price for a custom-made item seems reasonable, don't you think? Recently, I received an email from Mr. Dean saying, "We have a new lineup of GG06 models like yours, with black grain calfskin and Vibram soles. What do you think?" I asked about the price, and he said the MTO would take 12 weeks for delivery and cost £2030 (approximately 380,000 yen). I am also listing this item on other flea market sites, so I may have to cancel the sale if it sells elsewhere first.
