      Thanks, @neph93 - they are indeed GLORIOUS boots - and it was a pleasure to re-visit, Goto san is a truly lovely guy and speaks pretty good English.  At one point I said to Giles "who's a lucky boy, then?" and Goto san looked up and said "I am a lucky boy!" - delightful.

      Anyway, I decided that what my photos lack in quality I would make up for in quantity, so here are more pics of said gorgeous green boots (colour looks different inside and outside, am sure G will provide accurate colour photos in due course):

        From somewhere in the back of the little workshop, Goto san produces a wonderful black and orange box and beautifully wraps the boots, with true Japanese care and attention:

        And finally, we say our goodbyes… until next time... (although actually, as some of you may spot, this photo was taken before Goto san wrapped the boots, so apologies for the poor continuity!)

          Thank you for today.
          I look forward to seeing you next year.

          Yes, Paula could not resist these…...

              Goto San is a brilliant bloke, he just messaged me to tell me he had passed the boots on to @Giles and sent me a couple of pics of his own. His communication and attention to detail all the way through has been exceptional, one day I hope to put some business of my own his way.

                And the boots do look incredible, can’t wait to see them in the flesh. Thank you for the photo updates @Madame Buttonfly , looks like you both made a great purchase  🙂

                          Nice boots @Giles!

                          When I saw the "see you next year" comment, I thought that you might have ordered another pair. I suspect that I'm not the only one. 😃

                          Incidentally, since it's considered correct to match watch strap, boots, and belt, can I assume that you've got a green belt coming?

                                        Those boots are absolutely gorgeous!  I love that shade of green, there's so much depth to the color.  Enjoy them Giles!
