These are black leather double monk strap shoes from the Indian brand 3DM Lifestyle. The price range was around 40,000 yen, similar to Jalan Sriwijaya. The brand states that they use the handmade Blake construction, but it's well-known in Japan as a McKay construction. Although it's an Italian construction, the shape of the toe is a round toe, characteristic of English shoes, and I fell in love with them and bought them. The soles have been reinforced with a half-leather sole at the leather shoe workshop Union Works so that I can walk without worrying about wet surfaces.

[About the Indian Leather Industry] The Indian leather industry developed as an export industry for raw hides and semi-tanned leather during the colonial era. Since the 1970s, due to a change in government policy, it has shifted from exporting raw hides and unfinished leather to exporting value-added product leather and finished products. Currently, a wide range of leather products, such as shoes, bags, clothing, belts, and wallets, are produced and supplied domestically and internationally. Quality and International Evaluation Indian leather is characterized by thin, high-quality leather that takes advantage of the tropical climate. In particular, sheepskin and buffalo leather are durable and long-lasting, and are often used for wallets, bags, and clothing. Luxury brands, including those in Europe, also trust Indian leather and production technology, and OEM (original equipment manufacturing) and ODM (original design manufacturing) are thriving.
