Thank you for viewing! [Product Name] Hathorn Boots Oxford Color: Black Roughout (Black Suede/Leather) [Product Description] These are Oxford boots from Hathorn, known as the second line of White's Boots. With a rugged yet refined design, they can be used for a wide range of styles, from casual to workwear. The thick roughout leather (leather using the back side of suede) has an appealing texture. It's a great deal for those who can recolor suede themselves. [Size/Specifications] * Marked Size: US 9E Approximate Japanese Size: 27cm * Custom Sole: Vibram #1276 Black + EVA Beige Sponge [Product Condition] * The soles were replaced with Vibram #1276 black at Brass shoe co. in Setagaya, Tokyo. * There are scuffs and color fading characteristic of roughout (especially on the heel of the right foot), and some fuzziness, but I have maintained them regularly with brushing, etc. Please check the images for color fading and sole wear. * There are no fatal damages such as tears. * There is some wear and tear on the insole. * It's a great deal for those who can recolor suede themselves. [Other] * Hathorn, using the same manufacturing method as White's Boots, is characterized by models that are lighter and easier to use daily. * Vibram #1276 is also used as the genuine sole for mountaineering boot manufacturers, and in recent years, it has been used for flat-soled shoes other than mountaineering boots, with a slope on the heel, and for work boot customization. * Please understand that the rough stitching and unevenness in construction are part of the brand's character, as these are work boots. * The sizing tends to be slightly larger, so please consider this before purchasing.
