For over 40 years, a workshop in Nagata, Kobe, has been making shoes, and this classic thong shoe has been a cherished staple. We were so impressed by the quality and sincere approach to craftsmanship—made with care to ensure everyday wear—that we commissioned a special version Japanese Craftsmen Project. This season's new color is a basic yet distinctive crocodile-embossed brown. The custom design features a leather upper and a glossy satin strap for a more sophisticated look. The exquisite balance between casual wearability and understated elegance is a key feature. The moderately thick "shark sole" reduces fatigue even after prolonged wear, and the stretchy strap provides a secure fit for effortless walking. Size range from 21.0 to 26.5 cm. Perfect for wearing barefoot, or paired with five-finger or tabi socks for year-round wear. A fashionable design, comfortable fit, and wearable all year round! This item completely surpasses the image of thong shoes that we've had until now.
