      I saw VEB commented on these, that "crepe soles are a big deal in Japan"… And agree that leather is dope.

          One of the boots they like to stick the crepe soles on is the Rios Ropers. But I don't think I've ever seen that exact same sole as used on the Mushmans on any other boot. Usually like this:

          That leather/color would probably look pretty good on the Lofgren Donkey Puncher.

              Mushmans specced them for the Japanese market and I suspect they don't give a toss that markets they are not releasing them for, do not like them….

                They look a lot better worn than I would have thought.

                  That's a nice color, and I suspect it will darken with age and look really good.

                    So, what is the deal with the Japanese and crepe soles?

                        a thought, shouldnt this thread be in the other brands section, they do A LOT more then just boots
                        just a thought

                        don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

                            That would explain why you have to go digging through niche Japanophile enthusiast blogs to find evidence of them 😉

                            Think it, be it.

                                Nor me.  It doesn't bother me where it ends up.  Views?

                                  I'd vote other brands

                                        Yes, I'd still classify this as other brands.
