NEPENTHES / Size : 26cm JOHN BROWN FRAME MAINLAND BOOTS

JOHN BROWN FRAME MAINLAND BOOTS Leather Shoes CHELSEA nepenthes Engineered Garments. Please check each photo for details.

Both shoes show signs of moderate wear and use. The sole wear on the heel area is particularly noticeable, but there are no other critical stains or damage. I have taken good care of them with regular maintenance, so the leather surface is in good condition, and overall, they are not in a state that would cause discomfort. They are equipped with Vibram soles, so with repair and care, they can be worn for a long time to come. Of course, in their current condition, they are perfectly fine for normal use. The color is BLACK.

(※I usually wear sizes around [41] [8] [26-26.5cm]. These shoes fit [not too big, not too small, just right], and my heel did not lift when walking.)

These are handmade shoes that became widely known through nepenthes. While they have a tough construction like work boots, the subtly hammered studs and overall atmosphere even suggest a sense of elegance if viewed from a slightly different perspective.

Of course, they can be worn as is with work or American casual styles, but I recall that at the time of release, nepenthes suggested pairing them with suits. Personally, I preferred wearing them in a way that blended well with dressy to chic styles, creating a slight, intentional incongruity. Also, I have never experienced foot fatigue while wearing these shoes. Considering all this, I believe they are a pair that can be worn with a very mature and elegant vibe.

Thank you.
