"The first pair of shoes I made"
I want to introduce a pair of shoes that I'm deeply fond of. These shoes were the first pair of shoes I made, back when I was still a company employee. I wanted leather shoes that matched formal clothes, but could also be worn casually. Because I couldn't find the leather shoes as a ready-made product, I decided "well, I'll make it myself then".
I attended a seminar lecture on shoes and feet and designed the exact shoes I made. I crafted these shoes so that I couldn't resist wearing them every single day (lol).
It's been a long time since I made those shoes, and I have replaced the sole and repainted them. Despite their age, I'm still using those same shoes even today, showing that well-made leather products can be used for a long time if they are properly maintained.
The shoes are the body lines themselves, and when you go out, I believe they become part of your body. Because of this, shoes must have both excellent functionality and design. Achieving this is difficult, but it is the challenge I want to explore. As long as shoes are fashion, they will change forever...
My dream is to continue making shoes that suit each customer while adapting to changes. Thank you.
