    Sadly not, or am I missing something here?

    EDIT: Sorry they do have some but those are the synthetic model. Atleast that is what the members on here have said, I have messaged Sportsguide either way to confirm.

    Ah, you're right. I just checked.
    Unlucky. I hear those are great boots.

    Fantastic boots, I owned a pair before but they were too big. I should have purchased a pair right after I sold them. :(

    If anyone could find me a site that sells them and ships to the US that would be great.

    I think you just need to order off rakuten and use a forwarding service like Tenso. There are quite a few stores that have pretty good deals on some X-tops that ship within japan, you'd just pay a little more for shipping.

    I just have no idea how to use tenso. :confused:

    Have you used them? If so could you explain the process, I have looked on their website but just don't want to mess something up and end up not receiving anything.

    Sorry for the double post but I got a reply from Sportsguide.

    Dear customer,

    It is Rakuten market sports guide online.
    Thank you for the courtesy of your reply.

    These shoes use the natural hides for a part, but are not all.

    Regards,
    Gonnokami

    So does this mean that they do have a K leather upper? I thought that if they didn't have the red X on the name they were synthetic. I'm confused. :confused:

    Natural hides in front and synthetic the rest.
    About Tenso, I also have used it before. It's kinda easy to use, you register to the site then they give you an address and you shop from rakuten and send them to the address they gave you.
    They are also very helpful through e-mail, I managed to save 6$ as I told them to remove the box to drop the weight ;)

    I believe you mix up Dosoccer with Rakuten.

    Lol not a chance hahahahaha

    I'm going to Japan next year march I'm gonna pick up another two pairs and convert one to mixed soleplate. The only reason I can think they are hard to get hd of now is maybe there is a updated version nearing?

    For me to use more than my Morelia TM which I LOVED says a lot regarding my feelings for this boot

    If you could help me get a pair I would really appreciate it, although it all depends on the total $$$ for shipping.

    They
    are the same boot in both links.

    The difference In the updated Morelia (in both of your links) is:

    •smaller tongue
    • new reinforced forefoot to reduce over stretching
    •new anti slip insole

    If u can still get the older model and save money I would advise to.

    The toe box is high but reduces while breaking/moulding to feet. I actually think this is a great feature as well as not having any stitching what so ever at the very front if boot as it enables you to get the boot a tight a possible so you get a comfortable snug tight fit. My x-top took longer to break in as there is stitching at the very front of boot.
