      It was my decision not to do larger and smaller sizes than the very limited size run we did, it had nothing to do with the Japanese.  As is often the case, Haraki told me what he was going to run for Japan and gave me the opportunity to expand the size run for the west.

      Often when we try something new, we limit our risk and exposure by not going long or deep. This is a business and we are doing our best to do our best.

      Paula was, and still is, really pissed off that we did not do smaller (more Japanese?) sizes in either the high or the low tops, but just because she is co-owner of the business does not mean we should make risky business decisions to give her what she wants.

      Most, if not all Japanese brands in our space have seen their revenues drop by close to 50% over the last 12 months, mainly due to the massive drop in demand in Japan.  Ironheart has grown over the same period, mainly due to our growth outside of Japan. International now represents way more than Japanese domestic in terms of sales.  That leads me to believe we are doing something right for the non-Japanese customer base.

      But hey, what do I know.

          These really are the best shoes…Such a shame... Maybe try foot-binding? I’ve heard that’s worked well historically to help large clown feel fit into Japanese shoes. Just a thought...

                        Was sizing similar on these as the 01 low tops? I know they're made by different companies.
                        Same size as UK Chuck 70's is about the only input I see on this thread and the product page isnt accessible for me if it had more info.  It looks like there werent half sizes either?  Thanks in advance for the info!

                            Appreciate the reply and looking forward to having all the old extinct pages back one day.

                            Open to anyone else who has these sharing their experience too.

                              Will the product be made again or the extint page will be made available?

                                I see that these have restocked on the Iron Heart Japan site.  Will IHUK be getting these as well or is the restock Japan only?

                                    I’d definitely be down for a pair.  Even tried to order off the Japan site but no international shipping.  @Giles if you guys can get them from Japan I’d take a pair or two.  Hopefully you guys will get some!

                                      We have no plans to rerun these at the moment. None available in Japan, either. Sorry
