what a wonderful POSTMAN. i like the “sprung up” toe very much. this extra ordinary POSTMAN is made by japanese HORSEMAN JOE. made of original leather, hand sewn welted with a double leather sole. it costs about 65.000 YEN which means about 825 USD. you can order and customize the shoes and boots at HORSEMAN JOE as you like. there are different sorts of leather, colors, soles, heels and types/forms. the stuff is made on old machines – great. check out their site! pics | HORSEMAN JOE
