High-grade deerskin leather is used for the entire upper

■Features

(1) Use of extremely lightweight and flexible deerskin leather

Deerskin, a high-grade leather, is called the cashmere of leather because it is extremely supple, lightweight, and soft compared to other leathers, and has been used in Japan since ancient times.

Even today, it is used in various genres such as leather jackets, armors, and bags.

Soft and bendable like a sneaker

(2) Unique device of a shoe manufacturer to take advantage of flexibility

The leather shoes are made by the Bolognese method, a method that originated in Italy. The most attractive feature of the Bolognese method is its "good return" and stress-free comfort, which is very different from conventional leather shoes that are hard and heavy.

30% lighter than regular leather shoes

(3) Lightweight and flexible Vibram's Gum Light sole is adopted

Vibram's "Gum Light Sole" is a high-performance material that combines the advantages of a sponge sole, which is soft and lightweight, with the advantages of a rubber sole, which is grippy, slip-resistant, and durable.

The special expanded rubber is blended into the sole, making it 40% lighter than rubber soles.

The highly moisture-absorbent Japanese pigskin used for the lining leather is comfortable to wear all day without getting stuffy

(4) Pigskin is used for the lining (back leather) of the shoes

Pigskin, a by-product of meat processing, is the only leather that can be produced in Japan, and tanneries in Sumida-ku, Tokyo, are responsible for 90% of its production.

The characteristics of pigskin are its high moisture absorbency, light weight, and excellent abrasion resistance, making it a highly functional leather.

We adopted this leather in order to boost the local industry in Tokyo and to let more people know about high-quality domestic pigskin leather.

You can choose from a total of three colors.

Although this product was initially targeted mainly at businessmen who wear leather shoes all day long under the theme of "leather shoes that surpass sneakers," it has gained support from a wide range of people, including the younger generation who have a negative image of leather shoes, shoe lovers, and leather enthusiasts.

donutshole] was started mainly by a shoe manufacturer in Asakusa that produces shoes at the request of companies and brands.

The brand was inspired by the "circle" of shoemaking in downtown Asakusa, where many craftsmen are involved in the production of a single pair of shoes, which is then passed on to the consumer to be completed.

We would like to leave behind for future generations a manufacturing system that makes sense as a producer, such as pricing that takes advantage of our strength as a made-to-order seller, the ability to exchange sizes after purchase, and the acceptance of genuine manufacturer repairs.
