Buzz Rickson Officer low quarter shoes wanted

[Persimmon]

Can anyone advise how I can get hold of the Buzz Rickson Officer low quarter shoes,
I have seen them advised on the historypreservation .com but expensive.
Is there a way to purchase in the U.K.
Can you buy them direct from Japan.
Is there a phone number to call.
Anyone done this with success.
Does anyone have them for sale.
I take a size 8 UK.
Are B. R made in USAS sizes.
Does that mean I would need an American 9

Any help welcome
Alan

Yes, they are US sized, go up one half size from a UK dress oxford.

David,
Thanks for the lead.
I have visited the site and bought a pair.
No idea how long they will take to deliver though.
Have you purchased from there and what was the lead time for delivery.
Many thanks for the guidance.

You're welcome, Alan ... no I bought mine from HPA when they had an overstock. Shipping from Japan is fairly quick to us in NZ, usually 4-5 days.
