It's not about the price, it's about whether the shoes "fit" or "don't fit."
I'm a watch shop, but I also talk about shoes...I don't even know what shop it is anymore (lol)
One of the recent trends for men is ``leather shoes.''
John Lobb, Edward Green, Alden, JM Weston...
There are many brands and various designs, but they are generally high quality.
The number of items that cost more than 100,000 yen has increased,
Just because shoes are expensive doesn't necessarily mean they're of good quality.
What's more important is whether the wooden pattern "fits you."
Standard designs such as straight tip and plain toe,
Regardless of the brand, they look almost the same.
It's different if you ask me, but there are many things that feel like...
If you can tell the difference and guess the brand, you are a serious shoe fanatic.
From a woman's point of view... "They're all the same, so why are they so expensive?"
I don't understand that feeling (lol)
So why are men so passionate about shoes?
Perhaps this is due to the recent ``Classico'' boom.
Compared to the past, men's fashion has started to wear suits and jackets,
This may be because more and more people are wearing such clothing for work and casual wear.
When I actually go to Tokyo, I think,
I feel that office workers have become more fashionable than they were 10 years ago.
There are more and more clean and high-quality suits and jackets,
There are fewer people wearing baggy black suits like in the past.
If you are particular about suits etc., you will naturally become particular about shoes,
Demand for high-end shoes may also have increased.
Recently, many people are introducing their shoes on SNS,
There are also people who shine their own shoes.
You can also get a lot of information about shoes.
Due to a combination of various factors, more and more people are enjoying shoes.
But when it comes to shoes, the most important thing is not the price or the brand.
The most important thing is that the shoes fit you well.
In my case, the left and right sides are one size apart, and my heels are also smaller.
This makes it difficult to find shoes that fit.
Even if you manage to manage the size difference between the left and right sides, the heels often don't fit together.
I used to prefer British brand Crockett & Jones, but
Lately, prices have gone up and quality has gotten worse...
While visiting various shops there, I met...
It was the Japanese brand "Sanyo Yamacho" .
It is carefully made in Japan and the price is reasonable compared to overseas brands.
It's run by Sanyo Shokai, so it's nice that they have sales depending on the season.
It seems that the wooden mold is tailored to Japanese people,
The heel is made smaller, so there are many wooden shapes that fit your size.
However, the leather was very hard at first, so I had to train for 3 months (lol)
But once you get used to it, it feels like it sticks to your feet,
I can't wear other brands anymore!
I have worn a considerable number of shoes throughout my life, so my customers and friends often ask me about them.
However, when recommending
"Don't choose shoes based on brand or price, try them on and find the right size."
The same shoes don't suit everyone.
I feel like I'm saying something similar to when I was talking about a clock.
In the end, things you buy based on trends or reviews won't last long if they don't suit you.
You won't know if it will fit unless you see the actual item, try it on, and choose the one that fits you best.
It's okay to buy it, but it's a waste to let it go.
I've been wearing these loafers for about 2 years,
When I take care of it, I always polish it with red, so the color has grown nice.
The more you like something, the more you want to take care of it and use it for a long time...
Ah, we are a watchmaker after all (lol)
Tomorrow is Tuesday, so we are closed.
We hope to see you again from Wednesday!!
