⑴ Last: Made using a last similar to Alden's Barrie last, and crafted with the hand-sewn welted construction method. ⑵ Upper Leather: Domestic Kip Leather While being kip leather, it's quite supple. Compared to calfskin, it offers higher durability and water resistance, and is also easier to maintain. ⑶ Lining: Uses unfinished cowhide leather for lining, approximately 1.5mm thick, which is plump and will mold to the shape of your foot. Recently, despite not having a significant price difference compared to Dupla, more people are choosing this for its superior comfort. ⑷ Insole: The insole is made from approximately 5mm thick domestic Shonan shoulder leather, which is tightly packed with fibers and gradually conforms to the shape of your foot. Cork is used for the filler, and it's processed for the hand-sewn welted construction method. ⑸ Outsole: Both the outsole and leather heel use Italian bend leather. After testing options from Mexico, Germany, Bangladesh, and domestic sources, this was found to be the best choice. ⑹ Top Lift: Uses Italian Vibram. ⑺ Other: Although not easily visible, the welt, the toe puff hidden inside the shoe, and the counter are all made from a single piece of leather. Recently, even shoes from brands costing over 100,000 yen often use cheap and inferior materials made from synthetic materials or leather board, which most people wouldn't notice unless they are knowledgeable about shoes... #Alden #CrockettandJones #CROCKETT&JONES #JohnLobb #EdwardGreen #church's #CHEANEY #Loake #Tricker's #LeatherGoods #Handmade #REGAL #ScotchGrain Thank you for reading this far.
