This is a U-tip shoe from Takeo Kikuchi. I purchased it in 2024, but it has been stored without being used. It is new, unused with tags. Color: Camel Brown Size: 27.0cm Retail Price: ¥28,600 (tax included) Heel Height: 3.5cm Width: 11cm Weight: 70 (27.0cm) Approximately 540g per shoe The following is quoted from the website: 【Design Points】 This U-tip features a crazy pattern with smooth leather on the top, velour leather on the apron parts, and scotch grain leather on the wings. The brown color is overall burnished, resulting in a deep chestnut color. Both black and brown are finished with wax and shoe cream for a transparent finish. The sole has a double-sole thickness molded sole with a storm welt with double stitching, giving it volume and a strong presence. While it has a rugged impression overall, it achieves a soft fit by equipping a cup insole. Although it has a casual design, it is molded and finished in a domestic factory specializing in dress shoes so that you can wear it elegantly. The last adopts a last with thickness in the toes and width that does not lose to the volume of the sole. By holding the arch and instep to the foot shape, a fit is created, making walking easier and reducing fatigue. 【Material/Characteristics】 The Italian-made molded sole has an internal structure that achieves lightness when walking. Synthetic rubber is sticky and soft, and has the characteristics of good rebound and shock absorption when walking. The sole design is designed with surfaces and irregularities so that it is easy to walk on both asphalt and dirt roads. The urethane cup insole, which is resistant to sagging, has an arched shape to prevent the heel from swaying sideways, and also has cushioning to reduce fatigue. The upper leather mainly uses cowhide from Himeji. The black velour is made in Italy. The lining leather uses pigskin from Tokyo.
