I'm just about to go to the Taverna for dinner, I tell the boys down there what you think of them…....

There goes the knighthood…

[Megatron1505]

I don't know…..he's stopped talking to me 

[Megatron1505]

Goto-San has responded to my questions, given me the full spec, price and delivery estimate, none of which are as outrageous as I had been lead to believe. The problem is that his customers have to meet him at his workshop to order from him 

Maybe next year….

For a pair of hand made custom boots made by a Japanese artisan, I think that's a steal…Guess who's going to be on a train heading North of Tokyo next time he is in Japan......

some good looking boots there

[davito]

looking at his blog shortly I believe its well worth honoring his custom work if you are ready to pull the trigger, imho.

[Megatron1505]

I think the price for what I want is very good, look at the price of the Sebastian Tarek boots that Graeme has ordered for a comparison on true bespoke footwear.

I will also be on a train heading North from Tokyo the next time I am in town, unfortunately for me that more than likely will not be this year.
